Episode 41: Flower Arranging for Goons

0041 MarathonGood afternoon, dear listeners! This week’s episode is our long-awaited movie trade marathon! For this episode, Windy and Melissa spent an entire weekend watching movies, recording bits of podcast between films.That’s why this episode is super-duper sized (even though it’s not as super-duper sized as it was originally supposed to be, due to a microphone calamity at the end).

While we drank and ate many things over the course of the weekend, we suggest pairing this episode with either a Yellowtail Shiraz or a decent, affordable champagne. Also, pizza rolls.

  1. I’m not sure I could watch “Danger: Diabolik” without the benefit of the Best Brains crew’s commentary…
