They also talk about their recently seen movies Baby Driver, Patti Cakes, A Ghost Story and The Poughkeepsie Tapes; TV events like SyFy's Happy! and Carol Burnett's 50th Anniversary special and documentaries Fonda on Fonda and By Sidney Lumet.  And they can't help giving their passionate thoughts on the recent Walking Dead fall finale (Beware Spoilers!).   On a personal note, Dan tells us about his recent trip to Abu Dhabi and Vicky gets some Christmas cheer from FunikiJam: Holiday Beat.   Ring in the New Year with Hot Date 61: Loss of a Teardrop Diamond.  Make sure to leave us some iTunes feedback and thanks for listening.      ","author_name":"Hot Date with Dan and Vicky","author_url":"https:\/\/www.hotdatepod.com\/","html":"
