Crawling Nights, Barking Yards (107)

Lots occurring on Christopher Hitchens' birthday. Andrew and Ryan talk about this week's shooting in a New York City subway, another sad update on America's pandemic of gun violence with a reflection on a mass shooting close to home. Much of the episode focuses on an article by the sports website Yardbarker sharing "The 25 Best Films Set in Los Angeles." How does it stack up, what's missing and what do the guys think of each movie mentioned? It's yet another fun one here on Mars.
