As the contest approaches, competitors and bystanders start dropping out in suspiciously violent ways.

Hosted by Don, Ken, and Jon, 3 Guys and a Flick blends film knowledge, pop culture nostalgia, friendly arguments, and comedic banter into an entertaining podcast for movie lovers. The podcast website, 3guysandaflick.com, serves as the home for new episodes, show notes, movie ratings, past reviews, podcast links, listener interaction, and ways for fans to suggest future movies.","legalName":"3 Guys and a Flick","foundingDate":"2021-01-01","numberOfEmployees":{"@type":"QuantitativeValue","minValue":"1","maxValue":"10"},"telephone":[],"openingHoursSpecification":[{"@type":"OpeningHoursSpecification","dayOfWeek":["Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday"],"opens":"09:00","closes":"17:00"}]},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/3guysandaflick.com\/#\/schema\/person\/7e5904c9557342ae244df6d0aef996ed","name":"admin","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/05d12fb047e700329f868634f74d5d2cc330cafde58c88d35caef1eecffa41e6?s=96&d=mm&r=g","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/05d12fb047e700329f868634f74d5d2cc330cafde58c88d35caef1eecffa41e6?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/05d12fb047e700329f868634f74d5d2cc330cafde58c88d35caef1eecffa41e6?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"admin"},"sameAs":["https:\/\/3guysandaflick.com"],"url":"https:\/\/3guysandaflick.com\/?author=1"},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/3guysandaflick.com\/?p=3591#local-main-organization-logo","url":"https:\/\/3guysandaflick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/podcast_movie_decal_design_FINAL_2019x2019.png","contentUrl":"https:\/\/3guysandaflick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/podcast_movie_decal_design_FINAL_2019x2019.png","width":2019,"height":2019,"caption":"3 Guys and a Flick - The Movie Review Podcast for Movie Lovers"}]}},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/3guysandaflick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/drop_dead_gorgeous_banner3-1.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/3guysandaflick.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3591","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/3guysandaflick.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/3guysandaflick.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/3guysandaflick.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/3guysandaflick.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3591"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/3guysandaflick.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3591\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3600,"href":"https:\/\/3guysandaflick.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3591\/revisions\/3600"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/3guysandaflick.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3596"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/3guysandaflick.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3591"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/3guysandaflick.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3591"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/3guysandaflick.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3591"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
