Episode 6 - Part 2: ...And A Dollar Short
Length: 44:42
Completing last episode's tangent-filled exploration of video games, Ryan and Steve cover a variety of films in part 2 of Episode 6.
Jumping directly into the action, they discuss Stake Land, Prometheus, and (of course) many other topics, leading to the shortest-ever episode (as long as you don't consider the fact that it's the second half of what may be our longest episode in total).

Still a warning: This podcast is not safe for children, adults, or Clive Barker. Do not expose pregnant woman or Ridley Scott to this podcast. Maybe just don't listen to it at all. I mean, there's horse rape and a lot of cancer and internet panhandling and it will spoil the Mass Effect games for you.
