Jake is trying something different this time. He's watching a movie and talking during it. It's a commentary. Pop the movie on and watch it with him. Or don't! Live your life how you want.

Jake felt like talking about a movie he likes. It's kind of Christmas themed. Sort of. Whatever, listen to it, it's good, it's Kiss Kiss Bang Bang!

Yeah, it's another one of these. I talk about the podcast Cinephobe, the show House of Dragons, the movies Horrible Bosses 2, Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, Tar, Decision to Leave, and The Menu, and then cap it off by raving about the show Taskmaster. So, yeah. Bit shit, innit?

It might not be scary in a traditional sense, but this movie still twists the minds of Jake and Daisy in this episode.

First time guest, but long-time friend is on the show this week, Paisley Blackburn! Jake and Paisley talk about the star-studded affair that is the Burt Reynolds vehicle (ha-ha) The Cannonball Run.
