SHOWNOTES: Due to production issues, we are jumping ahead to our next episode ahead of Ghost in the Shell: we're reviewing the 1974 made-for-TV film starring Martin Sheen, The California Kid! This action thriller car movie is a blast to the past, filmed in the 70s and set in the 50s. While it may be one of our more obscure picks, Robert, Beau, and Ash tell you why we think it's worth a watch, not only for car enthusiasts but anyone interested in a TV flick with a rising star. We'll be back with Ghost in the Shell as soon as possible and then our next scheduled episode: the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special, "The Day of the Doctor"!
