The regular guest for wrasslin'-themed episodes, Ryan Gilbert, comes back to help the guys dissect a movie that is...

Ai-yah! Ai-yah! Ai-yah! Listeners Choice Month begins with a rather digestible slice of 90s cheese as Nathan and Brendan discuss the 1992 hit 3 Ninjas!

The Patrons demand it and the guys deliver! Thanks to Patron extraordinnaire Michael Bagford, the gang tackled the Arnold Schwarzenegger action classic Commando.
