It’s here! It’s finally here! It’s Casual Friday! Did you know today is the ONLY Friday the 13th of the year? Maybe that explains why Evan is out and Matt AKA New Dorsey is running audio, video, & social media today. Something is bound to go wrong!

We have a very special guest today, documentary filmmaker Morgan Spurlock (@morganspurlock)! He’s the man behind great films such as Supersize Me, Where in the World is Osama bin Laden? and his latest: the Greatest Movie Ever Sold.

Also joining us today is Chris Rosen (@42inchtv) with his Weekend Movie Reviews and Cliff Schecter (@cliffschecter)! Plus another song from Jimmy Reefercake (@JimmyReefercake). A PACKED SHOW TODAY!
