EPISODE 85: PAULIE-CAST

After a long and much needed summer hibernation, we finally re-emerge from the underground with a hankering to discuss (in detail) all FIVE 'Rocky' sequels. Yup. All of 'em. Also, there's a brief pit-stop into 'Nightmare On Elm Street 2' in there as well. You're welcome. Elsewhere, we delight in 80's excess with documentary 'Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films' and discuss the politics of the first three episodes of SNL's 41st season.
