160. Let's Taco 'Bout Battle Royale featuring Kate Sumser

October’s celebration of all things horror kicks off this week! On this episode, The Fat Dude is joined by law graduate and pet mom, Kate Sumser. We talk about the trials and tribulations of pursuing a legal career, the highlights of the Bay Area in California, and Kate’s longtime love for all things horror. We also dive into her pick for movie of the week, the exceptional Japanese classic, Battle Royale!

For Kate, one more time: Adopt a pet. Don’t use a breeder. See below for some great animal rescue resources!
