Jared and Clint go it solo this time around, as we take on the surprisingly dark and horrifying kid’s film The Brave Little Toaster! Here, we muse on the existential underpinnings of life as a sentient appliance, and gasp in horror at all the rampant car murder. Enjoy along with our custom cocktail and drinking game!
(Thanks to our sponsor Field Notes as part of the Chicago Podcast Coop!)
ANNOUNCEMENT: From now until September, we’re emptying out the mailbag of all our remaining favorites and starting all over again. If there’s a movie you want us to cover, don’t forget to suggest it to us at our mailbag or on Twitter! (Also pledge to our Patreon if you want access to our upcoming bonus episode, where we talk about the mailbags we didn’t quite get to!)
