Happy New Year one and all! This weeks episode is PART ONE of TWO of our Season 7 Wrap-up. After some discussion, JD and I decided to break the wrap-up this time into CANNON and NON-CANNON films. It turns out we watched ALOT in the past season, and didn't want to rush talking about it. Spoilers: We ended up rushing anyways. So, sit back, relax, and bring in the new year with our quick recap of Cannon films.

Yup, that film. With that said, we here at the Cannon Cruisers wish everyone a safe and Happy Christmas, New Years, and all around good holiday to you...
