Queue The Day returns for its first episode of 2014 with a cheery discussion about the personal failings of directors that have at times outshined their artistic accomplishments. But first, Jim and Geoff give an update on the ongoing Aereo legal battle, Jim revisits a John Carpenter classic, and Geoff tries not to make his crush on Amber Heard too obvious.
