    Welcome to Season 2! The film students who refuse to grow up are BACK with their good friend Colby McCollough to discuss Korn's 1998 multiplatinum hit "Follow The Leader." Remember Korn? Not the food, the band. They were the first band to EVER have a music video be "retired" on MTV's TRL. They made dark, ominous metal accessible to millions of fans. And, of course, they went by names like Munky, Head and Fieldy. I mean come on. They were and still are true originals. But listen to the episode to decide for yourself!

On this detailed, layered and enjoyable episode, the guys welcome their second guest, the wonderful Sasha Patpatia.
