Risk by Megadeth

About this episode

The episode discusses Megadeth's album 'Risk' and explores its reception among fans while incorporating light banter and a discussion about the movie 'Highlander'.

Megadeth sure did a thing here. And Megadeth fans sure didn't like it. But why not? Calibrate your expectations and let us help you find a way to enjoy this thing! Also in this episode: Ralph and Michael attempt to banter like normal podcasters. And they talk about that movie Highlander, for some reason. But it's more on-topic than you would think. Is Risk the perfect album for a day by the pool? Maybe. And maybe that's the problem: Megadeth fans don't go swimming enough. Plus, we read listener mail and Ralph performs "Wanderlust" like you've never heard it before! Don't forget to subscribe to hear new episodes every other Tuesday!
