First up is the Coen Brother's goof ball caper "Burn After Reading". It gave us plenty to chat about including a surprisingly wacky performance by Brad Pitt. Then it's Tim Burton's " Big Eyes". A bio-pic of sorts about a character whose art and identity has been stolen in a most unexpected way. We had a great time recording so enjoy. We do not suggest listening to this episode hiding in a closet with no I.D. or tags on your clothing. Trust us and remember to rate/review!
