DTVC Podcast

We're joined once again by Mitch from the Video Vacuum, and we're discussing the cult classic "Champagne and Bullets". It'll be heavy on the "Shimmy Slide," but there's so much more to this gem, and Mitch and I try to cover all of it. We also look at the endearing traits of these vanity projects, and how much fun they are.
