WRL has been released from its time in lockdown, and we've brought a special guest with us. This week’s WRL tackles such subjects as: Who are the Marcato bros? What's Quentin Tarantino's new project? And many other things probably happened but it's late and I want to sleep.

P.s. we bumped the microphone a fair bit because we’re unprofessional as h*ck so if that will annoy you, you might wanna skip this one!
