About this episode

The episode discusses the film 8 Mile, focusing on its depth beyond the soundtrack and performances.

On this week’s episode, we have some of mom's spaghetti with vomit on our sweater already and watch Curtis Hanson’s 2002 rap battle epic 8 Mile. We discuss the film being so much more than a soundtrack vehicle, Eminem’s live-wire performance, misused southern accents in movies, Brittany Murphy short but sweet cinematic run, and TMI as a battle tactic.
