On this week's show, the gang wraps up the 2021 Listener Request Month with a lengthy conversation about the outrageous JCVD/Dennis Rodman team-up film, Double Team! Why couldn't they just make Rodman's character be a former basketball player-turned-arms dealer? What was JCVD doing to that poor bath tub? And why couldn't this ridiculous movie just stay on that island? PLUS: Is there anything more terrifying than a gross clown caught in the rain?

On this week's program, the tide starts to turn on the 2021 Listener Request Month as the guys chat about a movie that's almost kind of a movie: Poltergeist II: The Other Side! Wasn't it pretty silly of JoBeth's character to completely forget that not only does she have psychic abilities, but she actually comes from a long line of psychics?! Is Craig T. Nelson's character making Will Sampson's "Taylor" sleep outside? And is there any truth to the dreaded Poltergeist Curse? PLUS: What the heck happened with Craig T. Nelson's magic haircut? Poltergeist II: The Other Side stars Craig T. Nelson, JoBeth Williams, Heather O'Rourke, Will Sampson, Zelda Rubinstein, Oliver Robbins, Geraldine Fitzgerald, and Julian Beck as "Kane;" directed by Brian Gibson.
