Episode 2 - Richard Dreyfuss
In this badly-recorded episode (put some headphones on to hear Scott in amazing reverb-o-rama), we compare Entertainment Weekly’s recent “worst movies” article, the token female characters in ’80s cartoons, dropping cell phones down toilets, and a trailer for one of the worst movies to come along in a while: Song of the Blind Girl. Audio oddities to listen for: Chris’ stuffy nose and noisy mouse scroll wheel, and Scott’s vibrating cell phone.
