Running Up That Hill with Alex

July 11, 2022 00:00 - 34 minutes - 24.1 MB

This week comedian Alex Durazzo is back to talk about Umbrella Academy, but no one else wants to watch it so we all talk Stranger Things Season four (SPOILERS FOR SEASON FOUR PT.1) instead. We talk The Chromatics take on Running Up That Hill, and pick our own Vecna songs. Plus Alex has a hot take on Eddie so stick around for that.  If I only could, I'd make a deal with Kevna and I'd get him to sponsor our podcast; it's Cover to Cover to Cover!
