Scary Movie '26
The boys are back and this time Ronnie, Shane, and Hobo Dan talk about the scariest thing: the death of comedy films. We spend most our tike reminiscing about old comedic films and complaining about new unfunny movies. Do we know what we are talking about? Nopez but we talk it for 3 and a half hours. Seriously. I am an unpaid editor. I guess beer is payment but its not worth the countless hours of listening through this audio and replacing cancelable words with Scary Movie audio. This premise is f***ed because only one of them watched Scary Movie 6. Clickbait for a movie that came and went. Likez and subscribez loserz.

The Wolf Man '41
Oh no, we did it again! From the Library is sticking around for a second helping of randomness. Hobo Dan joins Ronnie to talk about 1941's The Wolf Man! A guy directed it but no one knows his name.
