February 18, 2022S2 E13: Farewell, My RatboyRatboy has become the metric against which we’ve measured every wild film and our unofficial mascot, and as one last tribute to you and to the fateful Christmas we found our cinematic center, we humbly offer up a Ratboy commentary track as a little post-finale bonus/punishment.Logistical notes: You can listen to this exclusively as an audio track or cue it up with the film for the visuals. You can find Ratboy (1986) on OK.RU or rent on YouTube or other streaming platforms. To listen along with our commentary, you’ll basically treat this podcast audio as your audio track (turn the volume off on the streaming video). Start our audio track to get cued up with the video, and… enjoy?
