Why did two such insightful movie fans turn to a life of crime? I guess they figured their gigs with Movie Geeks Roadshow and picking the best Offbeat Christmas Movies didn't pay so well. They have voluntarily entered a program of rehabilitation.

Whether you're 14 years old or 40, you might be wondering what your box/room/house-ful of Godzilla toys is worth on the open market.
