Hey everyone.

Welcome to another episode of Frame Rate, the podcast where we rate Frames.

0:16.0

I'm one of your host Michael Swaim, and tragically, for the first time in Frame Rate History, Abe couldn't make it. I'm without my Abe. I'm cleft in

0:26.0

twain. I'm like a gay Perry with no Harry. So you know, we're sorry to say it. I just had to kind of scramble and find anyone I could who was available.

0:36.2

But I am happy we managed to get a guest for the episode which covers the 2005 film Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and with me here to do so is the writer and director of
