It's a very special episode!!!!! Aaron, Sloan, and your Stepmom Cody have the one and only Drew Sumner on for the final Frank Henenlotter film!

That's right, a real accent in this episode! (Although Sloan does try her best) This movie is full of baby Belials, bolt-ons, and unique individuals. Plus, you'll learn about Tom Norman, The Silver King (some would say the British P. T. Barnum). And you know we're gonna talk music!

Another Frank Henenlotter film in the tank! Aaron, Sloan, and your Stepmom Cody watched the softcore porn horror Bad Biology! Some could say, “This is not artistic.
