Summary

Put simply, this is the biggest episode we've released so far. When we talk about big months, you can't get much more packed than this. CLASH OF THE TITANS. FOR YOUR EYES ONLY. STRIPES. DRAGONSLAYER. HISTORY OF THE WORLD PART 1. That would be a lot, right? But that's not it. DEMONOID also came... wait, what the hell is DEMONOID? SUPERMAN II. THE GREAT MUPPET CAPER. THE CANNONBALL RUN. And a dude named Indiana Jones. You are not ready. We were not ready. This is why we do this podcast.
