The PIG Episode (Not the Barn Animal, the Nick Cage Movie)

Hot Dogs and Caviar

Hi everyone! Here it is! Nate, TK, and Jesse discuss the excellent film Pig, inexplicably starring Nicholas Cage.

Producer's Note: Jesse sucks at podcast production, and on this Very Special Episode, he learns that even though he can't hear his keyboard in his headset, everyone else (including y'all) can. Lesson learned. Mute rig before typing. How did it take this long for him to figure this out? We promise, we know a lot more about food than we do about Zoom and GarageBand.
