In this episode, we go back to the gold mine of 1984 to revisit the iconic anthem "The Warrior", by Scandal, featuring Patty Smyth (not to be confused with Patti Smith!). Blaine shares another torture device, and we introduce a new segment called Cover Your Ears, where we scour YouTube to feature a funny, terrible or awesome cover version of our chosen song. This particular one involves a hilarious moment of Perilus/Perilous that's quite possibly the first time that's ever happened.

Our movie this time is the bubble gum-chewing, ass-kicking 1988 cult sci-fi action classic, "They Live", starring former WWF professional wrestler Roddy Piper in his first (and we're going to go ahead and say his best) movie role. The conversation is sparked by this Orwellian movie's bizarre dialogue, bleak outlook, and epically weird extended fight scene between two friends. Enjoy the ride, and don't forget your bubble gum.
