Join The Rabbit Fighters this week as we discuss Grant Lee Buffalo's 1994 album Mighty Joe Moon. Greg is "Ride Or Die" for GLB, and neither Joshua nor Brian had ever heard of them, which (statistically speaking) means 66.6% of you out there have never been acquainted either.

1y ago59:44

59:44

This week we find the Rabbit Fighters deeply divided over Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, the 2010 comic book/manga/video game/indie-music darling mashup movie. It's a visual feast that brandishes great tunes, wall to wall gags, and a deep bench of acting chops, but is that enough to overcome deep navel gazing and lack of character development? It's R…

The Rabbit Fighters go get a real racist slice of Brooklyn style pizza and catch up on Do The Right Thing, Spike Lee's seminal work. It's a hot day in Bedford-Stuyvesant and all hell is about to break loose. Will Americans finally learn their lesson from this film and treat each other with dignity and respect? Will Mookie go have a catch with his s…

1y ago57:03

57:03

The Rabbit Fighters strap on their stillsuits and walk without rhythm into the deep desert to tackle the always weird Dune... or at least the 1984 David Lynch version.
