On our first episode back, Eric and Scott talk Matt Johnson's 2023 release Blackberry. Join two old geezers on a stroll down memory lane.

About as focused of an episode as you'll ever get from us.

Ok, we don't talk about John Wick for like 40 minutes, and we may say some stuff that might trigger you. It's a conversation, we aren't right, it's just opinions.

Better late than never, or too little too late?

We tried our best.

I really hate that Bon Jovi song, the one one about going home. I hate it.

No not that Inside, the other Inside.

Not literally.

Catch up with the old geezer.

I sound like I'm dying.  

This is us talking about anything other than Cloud Atlas.

Bring me the head of that sad Englishman.

This is more of a rambling therapy session than an episode.

Jason and Scott. Alex Garland. Let's do it.

What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, listen to me - Edwin Starr
