March 17, 2025 Ep. 423 - Bugsy Malone (1976) (w/ Arianna Armon)
Arianna brings to us a film Jon has heard about for a while, and is happy this is the first time he's watched it. Children playing gangsters but in a serious way. Cream pies as weapons. And Paul Williams as the singing voice for some of the kids. Wild.
