Scotch and Bob Harris are back and we have to thank Sam Halstengard from our Farm and Ranch Department for the great suggestion. This time, we take an in-depth look at the 2014 horror-comedy "Zombeavers", a film which gleefully delivers the gory silliness one would expect from a movie about carnivorous killers with an overbite. Listen in as they discuss the rich details of the only movie that's brave enough to pit co-eds against bloodthirsty beavers. Have a listen!

There was sad news today on the death of one of the great comedic actors of our time. A Master of the ad-lib, Fred Willard star of TV and films passed away at the at of 86. 

In June of 2011 Fred had put his name to a new trivia book on films, 

I had received an email from his publisher stating that Fred was available for interviews and would I be interested in having him on the show.

I remember saying "Are you kidding? Absolutely!"

As ;you'll hear Fred was a great man to chat with, very friendly, very appreciative and you knew he had fun, because instead of the standard 10 minutes he was with us for almost 20.

R.I.P. Fred Willard, you brought a ton of joy and laughter to millions around the world.

Enjoy the interview everyone.
