[The Wire] 508: Clarifications, with Dave from Dopey
“10-year-old Kennard would have bullied 25-year-old me.” -Dave Dave from the Dopey Podcast returns to talk to Matt & Vince about The Wire season five episode eight, “Clarifications.” Dave hates season five.

GUS – the last beacon of integrity at the fictionalized Baltimore Sun. He even hates Kennard, the pint-sized, foul-mouthed giant slayer...

[NEW BONUS SERIES] Grinding Tape: College Frotball w Spencer Hall - 'Necessary Roughness' (1991)
The first installment of our new miniseries on college football movies takes on Necessary Roughness (1991)! Vince and Brendan are joined by Spencer Hall, from Channel 6 /the Shutdown Fullcast . This series was of course the brainchild of Brendan, our resident ex-college football player and former NFL superstar (* practice squad and NFL Europe). We all thought a miniseries on college football movies was a great idea, but it also could just be that Brendan is really big and might have CTE so we di...
