You wanna see more Franco Nero? You may like him as the sexiest Pope in Episode 444- "The Pope's Exorcist" AND THERE'S GONNA BE THREE MORE, HALLELUJAH, THANK YOU POPE FRANCO NERO. You like these weird Italians pretending to not be weird Italian? You'd probably like another movie by these weirdos, Episode 308- "Beyond the Door."

Re-release: IT (1990)
Released on 02/05/2024
Hello EMTs! This week, we were planning to discuss "The Peanut Butter Solution," but our pal Allen got COVID and I truly believe that it's not right to ask a man to watch weird Canadian children's cinema when he's ill, so we'll be back with that one next week. In the meantime, please enjoy this blast from the past with the re-release of our episode from 2016, "IT" (the 1990 miniseries). And I promise, the next time Allen gets sick, I'm doing the Brian-from-Wings-Shining all on my own. Have a great week, and we'll catch you next time.Â
