This week we settle in to talk movies; specifically, the 1961 historical epic 'El Cid'. Directed by Anthony Mann, and produced by Franco-collaborator Samuel Bronston, this hard-to-find technicolor classic is a prime example of political propaganda on the big screen. Shot largely on-scene in Spain, with 60's heavy-hitters Charlton Heston and Sofia L…

This week, we discuss restaurant grease traps, the joys of Valentine's Day, Elon Musk's juvenile human shield, and we also say 'obsequious' a lot. Like during editing I realized it's kind of egregious. If you guys correctly count how many times we say it Evan won't go into the light. P.S. The music is bad on purpose in this one I swear. We do have …

Happy Halloween, Ghouls and Goblins! This year, we wanted to talk about something truly horrifying. Something utterly bone-chilling.
