Episode 133: The Pest
6d ago01:22:56Tap to summarizeFor some unknowable reason, David picked The Pest this week. Hear him regret this decision on-mic and be berated by Justus for forcing this vile undertaking upon the podcast. It's tough to stay on-topic for a movie that your memory is actively attempting to repress as a trauma response, so they take some detours into anecdotes about past drug experiences, and (of course) the criminal history of one Jeffrey Jones. Does this sound like a fun time to you? We can guarantee one thing: it beats watching The Pest!The Pest (1997) is directed by Paul Miller and stars John Leguizamo, Jeffrey Jones, Edoardo Ballerini, Freddy Rodríguez, Tammy Townsend, and Aries Spears.Music: “Fractals” by Kyle Casey and White Bat Audio
