August 18, 2025 • Bradley J. Halverson & Carly Corio

The One with Our First Guest on the Pod! In this episode, Bradley and Carly travel to the place their friendship began- Manhattan, Kansas- to discuss the boxing drama, Million Dollar Baby. Even more exciting- they are joined by their first guest, Friend-of-the-Pod, Eddy Gonzalez! In the 1st half, they recap the film, including highlighting the amazing Hilary Swank and discussing the most vile characters they've seen yet. In the 2nd half, Eddy and Carly gang up on poor Bradley while they discuss the hotness of the actors. Plus, the hosts are heading back to the 60s for their next film.
