In this episode, Xan and Deke review a movie which is high octane insanity and hilarity, the R-rated movie, Crank directed by Mark Neveldine and starring Jason Statham, Amy Smart, and Jose Pablo Cantillo.
Our hosts are hopped up on sugar in this episode, so some parts may seem incomprehendable but it makes sense...to them at least. Besides the movie, they talk about Bandai's obsession with Gundam, the Centurions, Monster Park the Video Game and the goodness of Mike & Ike's Italian Ice Flavored Candy.
