Possibly the greatest vanity project ever made... again! We're revisiting GetEven (aka Champagne & Bullets, aka Road to Revenge)—a redux of Episode 3 where we first stumbled into one of the most tippy-top-shelf vanity projects in existence. This episode's a three-fer. It puts a temporary end to our evil "feel-bad" movie streak. It gives us a chance to revisit a film we love. And it continues our tribute to the patron saint of the podcast, Wings Hauser. This one's got heavy hitters—William Smith, Pamela Bryant, Wings—and at the center of it all, a man with an ego... err... dream, trial lawyer John Isaac De Hart III.

We hit the filthy, scum-ridden streets of Los Angeles alongside our late patron saint and cult icon, Wings Hauser, in Street Asylum (1990). It's got all the things we love—Wings Hauser, fascistic police brutality, and G. Gordon Liddy having kinky S&M sex. This is our toilet-humor tribute to the man we love most.
