Episode 28 – Movie Meltdown

- As independence day draws near, we take a look at one of this country's greatest heroes – Evel Knievel! Entertainer, stuntman, patriot, all-around bad-ass. God bless that red, white and blue bastard! Aside from damned-near devoting a religion to the man, we also review 1977's Viva Knievel. Quite possibly one of the most awesome (and ridiculous) movies ever produced. Listen as we tell tales of Evel slapping children, promoting helmet safety and foiling drug smugglers. It’s all in a day’s work when you’re the coolest man on the planet.
