JP McDade and Anthony Devito return to the pod for a special film buff edition where they discuss the Wachowskis' Speed Racer (2008) after watching it in an NYC theater that had bedbugs at some point in the past. The birth of a series so rich that we had to remove all the spaces from the title in the Youtube video to stay under the character limit. The boys dive deep on the movie, analyzing how Christina Ricci and Susan Sarandon are legendary baddies, whether the little kid is good or annoying, how the story is an allegory for small guys taking on big corporations, and how Eldis was entertained by the monkey. Guest appearances by dear friend of the pod Reece Grover, and one of Stav's mysterious neighbors known only as Neighbor X. The conversation was so rich that Stav, JP and Anthony only had time to take one call, from a guy whose girlfriend wants intimacy during that time of the month, which he hates because of his Pavlovian association with bedbugs.
