This week R is for ROLES and we have our first ever guest! Matthew Patrick Davis, star of breakout horror masterpiece Barbarian, joins Clint and Katie to talk all about his career as an actor and songwriter in Los Angeles. Many parallels are drawn between Katie and Matt's experiences auditioning, making their respective films and the press tours and horror con appearances they both travel to together. Wanna hear all about MPD regurgitating a bloody rat into Justin Long's mouth? How about drooling over a dill pickle in his underwear as Matt tries to impress director Zach Cregger via zoom?

This week Q is for a tower-dwelling, one-eyed hunchback monster who, despite his heroic levels of chivalry and modesty, is forced to endure alone, forever an outsider to a cruel world that could never love him. No, we're not talking about Clint! We're talking about Victor Hugo's Quasimodo, perhaps based on a real person, whose story mirrors the fascinating political landscape of 19th century. We learn all about Victor Hugo, his family and professional life, the inspiration for his most famous novels and poems and map out a dreamworld scenario in which Quasimodo finds true love with witches.
