We're following the progression of notable movie actor George Clooney, from his humble, tic-filled beginnings, to the much less fussy "classic" period. He is hot in all the phases, of course.

Ep. 167: DRAG ME TO MEL
We are joined again by friend of the pod Will Goss to discuss three films starring the 100% normal and definitely okay movie star Mel Gibson. Oh and we also talk about Scarecrow Video collapsing, which is a thing that actually happened.

Ep. 166: HEIST HEIST BABY
We're talking about heists, the more elaborate and far-fetched the better! None of this "drill open the safe" hooey, these heists have squibs, Mini Coopers, motor boats and alternate identities that have aged poorly!
