  • Episode 42: Feeling Minnesota
    May 23 2023

    Join us on a journey to the land of 1,000 lakes as we visit this forgotten product of the 90s indie boom, "Feeling Minnesota". Dan Aykroyd takes an unprecedented turn playing a crooked, sleazy detective, and Vincent D'Onofrio punches everyone he sees.

    In this episode, the boys discuss nominative determinism, Dan first on screen murder, and what made Preston such a bad student.
