## Resource

Odds and Ends: It's America's birthday (give or take), and a big one at that! To honor this great nation, we discuss some fun undertold stories from our history. Feature Film: Regs returns to bring us a dud this time, that being The Relic, about a monster thing in a box that breaks out and terrorizes people. Inspired by the similar plot and title, T.J. also made everyone watch The Item, a movie that... Regs says doesn't count as a movie. Which is fair, but at least it delivers on the goods. Next episode's movie: The Good, the Bad, the Weird (2008) You can join the conversation Wednesdays at 7pm EST! Available in podcast form on all your favorite podcatchers!
