The podcast that no one asked for. Larry and Curtis keep you up to date on current events, re-view movies, talk video games, pro-wrestling, and all things pop culture from two middle-aged high-functioning geeks. Recorded in a single take without a laugh track. Just remember that sometimes a cucumber is just a cucumber.
