What food would you be? Could you take a bear in a fight? Usual podcast stuff. Very funny episode in my opinio...

Thanks for playing and sorry that Judah rocks so hard at Harry Potter...

Ben and Judah are in the mood for a horror movie. A spooky movie if you will. Sure it's not Barely Ghoul season QUITE yet but they had an itch that needed to be scratched.
