We're back doing a full teardown on FREAKY TALES, an 80s set anthology film featuring a heist, gangs fighting, ancient Asian artifacts, and, of course, cocaine. Evan and Angel discuss what classifies as an anthology film. Angel thinks Pedro Pascal works too much and Evan might actually see a movie in the theaters.
