On this episode of the Garbage Barge, Colin Anderson and Candice Chetta are talking Nice Guys and the place they call home, The Friend Zone. We’re also talking about the imaginary properties of both of those ideas! As always, we’re bringing some of our favorite pop culture moments into play for illustrative purposes: Just Friends, 10 Things I Hate About You, Hunger Games, and more litter this special episode. Why is it special? It just happens to be Candice’s birthday! And we’re just at the tip of the trashy iceberg when it comes to ruining your favorite movies and music by exposing the garbage they are deep down inside! So jump on board, do a listen, and send us your comments and questions on these topics!
