Summary
The bonus episode that almost all of you didn’t ask for is back! Chris Hill and Bill Barker are joined by their longtime friend and colleague from the Great White North, Jim Gillies! Topics covered include Jim’s home in Guelph, Canada’s Mount Rushmore of comedy, Rocky Balboa ending the Cold War, a quick Canada-centric round of “Underrated/Overrated”, a not-very-quick conversation about “Star Wars”, and the track record of science fiction films’ predictions about the future.
