The Say Report

Furry Vengeance takes center stage as we attempt to reconcile the making of the film and at exactly what point in the creative process Brendan Fraser decided he was ashamed of it.  Then since we are already deep in the topic of the ruination of man, we stop to examine the effect that the market value nature of modern society is having on humanity as a species Make sure to stick around after that f...

This week’s episode Devon uses a 30 second cameo to justify watching “Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy,” to celebrate Brendan Fraser History Month.
