Episode 87: THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE

Behold! With the second year of Films(trips) soon to come to a close, the podcasting duo of Andrew and Dave are completely broken by the second Taylor Hackford film they've encountered, THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE!
Just how broken are the duo? Why, this episode features Andrew racing against the side effects of Robaxacet taken to deal with neck pain, Dave desperately trying to understand the metaphysics behind the film's presentation of the ant-Christ, extended discussions of both the Bill Clinton impeachment hearings as well as the O.J. Simpson trial, dueling Al Pacino impressions, AND Andrew's baffling interpretation of how Keanu Reeves' sounds in this film.
So for all of that AND Don King, tune in now!
Next Episode: Buddhism and Bridget Fonda.
