A special EYE BUDS review! The Buds deep dive into the HIT cinematic sensation "WEAPONS" from director Zach Cregger.

They jibberjabber about a bunch of Ear Buds related stuff at the beginning, including Black Sabbath's final show with Ozzy (this was recorded before Ozzy's passing), and then get into the track-by-track review of "AT PEACE."
