And just to make sure we take it seriously, we’re joined by filmmaker & premiere YouTube video essayist, Patrick H. Willems!! Secure your monocles, cause they’re about to pop out of your eye!! Along the way, we ask if James Spader satisfies as a lover, we consider what was Richard Jenkins like as a baby, evaluate what it must be like for two of the biggest movie stars in the world to eat PB&Js on camera, and wonder if becoming a wolf is a solid anti-depressant. Plus, we surprise Patrick Willems with an extended discussion of Edward James Olmos’ wang! Also, we have a very urbane edition of Choose Your Own Death-venture and we pitch Sydney Pollack’s Invisible Man! by Kill By Kill: Talking Horror Characters One Death At A Time
