The talk starts out silly enough, before the gang focuses on the films' subtext, Salva's criminal history, and whether or not one should attempt to appreciate art by separating it from the artist who creates it. It's a heavy episode at times, but hopefully showcases one of our more interesting chats. So if you find yourself on a long drive back fro...
