Episode 34.2 - Movie Meltdown

- Join us for our Sofa Theater feature - The Monster Squad. A movie from a simpler time when all kids had to worry about - was the Wolfman.

- Well that, and non-pc name calling. And a family that's falling apart. And a scary German guy. All right, it's a still a pretty horrific world, but it's also loaded with nostalgia and the wonder of being a 12-year old kid that thinks monsters are cool. I guess, some of us never grew out of that phase.

(German Accent) "Read Faster!"
