Episode 167
In honor of Bevill’s birthday, the guys are going with a nostalgic theme for Episode 167.
Brimming with soundtracks that were just as significant as the movies themselves, Aaron and Brent each pick out three songs from various films of the 80s.
They’ll highlight songs from classic, and cult-classic, movies like “Better Off Dead”, “The Wizard”, “License To Drive”, and more.
