You need to listen to this podcast or "I will stuff so much cotton wool down your fucking throat it'll come out your arse like the tail on a Playboy bunny." Michael and Abe sit down with Daniel O'Brien to discuss the political satire In The Loop. If it weren't full of soul-crushing insults, this 2009 political satire may feel a bit too close home so listeners beware. "I've just told you to fuck off twice yet you're still here?"

Two Americans chew some back bacon (the comedy and cultural relevance of 1983's Strange Brew and how it shaped their comedic sensibilities). For all its flaws, this retelling of Hamlet as the story of two hosers hunting for beer is arguably one of the best comedies ever made. So, grab some corn and um, uh- it's podcast time.
