We've gleamed the cube. Have you gleamed the cube? We watch a pre-superstar Christian Slater (aka Christian Skater) flick called...Gleaming the Cube. It's a skating movie? It's a private detective movie? It's a multi-national anti-communisim, anti-Vietnam, but the bad guys are the anti-communists, but they're really bad, movie. Bad it was made in the 80s so we loved it!

We talk Firth Fros, how dumb it is to be a sports fan, even though we still are, and the differences between UK versions of things and their US counterparts. Meaning we talk about this movie and the 200...
