Dark Habits: An Almodovar Podcast

J Dawg and Spencer are together again and with 2 special guests, Martin Kessler ( Twitter or X ) and Jared Gilman ( Twitter or X ). We get into SAG AFTRA strike talk. On this show, we're pro-strike and pro-union. That shouldn't be a surprise. They also talk about Perdita Durango too. Watch that movie, it's a blast.

Meant to release this one earlier but it's here. The boyz are back and talking about the wonderful and iconic Bette Davis! Jake Lenburg brought a Bette Davis movie he adores to the show, The Letter. Is this another case of Spencer not doing into classic Hollywood? Yes, but it's a great episode regardless.
