Show notes:

• Towards the end of the episode I distract everyone with an image. Said image is above with obvious editing. I wish this was a real movie.
• Break song is Star Wars Accapella by Virt. ( Virt’s the man….he’s going to be at the Blip Festival this December and he wrote the music for Contra 4 on the Nintendo DS.)
