On this weeks episode the boys review Thor's recommendation, the 2016 surrealist dark comedy Swiss Army Man. Starring Paul Dano and Daniel Radcliffe this film follows the story of a man named Hank marooned on an island and contemplating suicide, when he is saved by a dead body washing ashore. Through out the film Hank discovers the dead body has almost magic-like powers, and could be he is key to salvation. This movie is one of the weirder things we've ever reviewed. It's gross, sad, and hilarious all rolled into one hell of a ride... and that ride may or may not be on the back of a dead body propelled by the power of farts.

The show follows the adventures of a rag tag group of bounty hunters (AKA Cowboys), as they travel through the solar system just trying to scrape by. With an incredible soundtrack, plenty of plot twists, and a cast of some truly whacky characters this show is a ton of fun.

It's American history told through the lens of America today.

On this weeks episode the boys review Thor's recommendation, Sublime's 1994 self-produced album Robbin The Hood. Primarily recorded on a 4-track recorder in multiple living rooms across southern California. This album is an eclectic fever dream mixing reggae, punk, hip-hop, and the ramblings of a schizophrenic mental patient name Raleigh. Often times bordering on the absurd, Robbin The Hood takes listeners on an adventure into the nitty gritty of what life was like for a pseudo-punk reggae band in the early 90's. Love it or hate it, once you hear this album you will never forget it.
