We're back, but this time not on our regular nonsense. We have a guest on the podcast for the first time. (We're counting those other two times as guest hosts because Mark wasn't there.) Adam (whom you might know as @galooticus on the social-media-formerly-known-as-Twitter) joins us to discuss his four movie choices. They're all considered to one degree or another Cult Classics, but Adam admits that he mostly chose them in an effort to troll Bob. Joke's on him, though; Bob liked them all well enough.

Do beware for SPOILERS! that lurk throughout. Hail to the king, baby.

00:00 Podcast and guest intro

47:06 Bob's an idiot, that's two totally different people (and Bob was mixing up the names) Duke Henry from Army of Darkness is Richard Grove and Airk the Red from Willow is Gavin O'Herlihy. In his defense...well, no, he's just dumb.

52:09 Wrapping up; will Adam return?

Quicker turnaround for a quicker podcast. Mark wanted to talk about The Odyssey, so Bob went and saw it in the theater and now you get to hear us yammer about it for 30 minutes or so. Obviously it will contain many SPOILERS! , but there is also some desultory conversation at the very end about some other movies worth watching that, oddly for us, we don't spoil. Enjoy!

Back much quicker with our 75th episode. That's about all the fanfare we had planned. This episode we're discussing the debut features from a variety of directors. Most of the movies are rather older, but if you don't believe in statutes of limitation on such things, beware the fearsome SPOILERS! that lurk in the podcast ahead.
