Happy Halloween

Mac & Janko have an invading thought that both these "mavies" might just share some very interesting similarities with either other. Join us as we take a look at two great films Killer Klowns From Outer Space and Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978).

Apologies for the weird audio glitches on Janko's end during the later half of the episode.
