Episode 25 heralds our 2nd anniversary and the start to another year of podcasting. This month we discuss the film Pineapple Express as a stoner film and some similarities we found between it and The Big Lebowski. Tom joined us as a guest this episode. We're reading listener emails again and have a new feature, Listener Spotlights, highlighting our listeners. See our web site for more info - http://lebowskipodcast.com/index.php/Episodes/Episode-25-Pineapple-Express.html
