Clockwork Cardiac Bad Movie Retreat Episode 004 - They Saved Hitler's Brain

Clockwork Cardiac Bad Movie Retreat Episode 002 - The Killer Shrews

I know I said originally I was going to make this a bi-weekly podcast, but I just couldn't resist putting up a new episode...I'll be doing some tinkering with the format over the next few shows, so please bear with me. Anyway, for this episode we check out a bit of classic drive-in fare from 1959 called "The Killer Shrews" starring James Best of later "Dukes of Hazzard" fame, Ken Curtis from "Gunsmoke", and a whole slew of dogs in drag...enjoy! http://archive.org/download/ClockworkCardiacBadMovi...
