Here's some good news, Brandon and Dennis review the movie Wild Target starring Emily Blunt and some other actors from across the pond. Yes, we know who the other actors are, but they don't factor into my John Krasinski pun. Also there's a fun interview with Brandon's son, Chandler, about Gravity Falls.

Now my friends... The end is near... and so I face... the final curtain... blah blah blah
The end of season one of the podcast is nigh... well here actually. This is the end of an era. We will be back soon, but for one final bunker extravaganza, we have Jeffrey and Landon with Brandon and Dennis to have a no holds barred episode... a lot of which is about steak doneness and Coke vs Pepsi.
Come reminisce with us.
