In a baffling twist of betrayal it turns out that Matthew and Bob were in fact evil all along, fooling this week’s guest, Supreme Baltimore Creative: Tyler Merchant, into a false sense of security about his friendships! What is Tyler’s punishment for being so trusting? He was tied to a chair and tortured with a car battery connected, NOT TO HIS LEGS, but to the material of his pants and forced to watch Fred Olen Ray‘s 1987 masterpiece Cyclone (1987 film)! Join these three as they waffle through the complex corridors of this motorcycle movie that’s really about magic batteries, Jeffrey Combs nonchalant murder, and the ungodly tragedy of Jenkins.
