For January 5th, 2016, Rob, Mike, Red and Scott meet in the Nostromo Lounge and discuss the Valiant Comics title X-O MANOWAR (which sounds totally bananas), the general typecasting of Melissa McCarthy and her latest Paul Feig collaboration SPY, we spend entirely too much time discussing whatever the hell "MathRock" is, Mike and Red check out GUY ON A BUFFALO while majestically chasing bears across the Oregon foothills, and much, much more before our stock market-crashing review of THE BIG SHORT from writer/director Adam McKay.

MUSIC

The AntiTheory - "Smart Bombs"
