Get ready for an extremely serious episode. Mattie somehow managed to get cinematic visionary Brendan Steere, the director of the greatest film of all time, on the show. That's right folks, we're coming at you with an in-depth discussion of the ineffable, transcendent intricacies of 2017's THE VELOCIPASTOR.

A hallmark of 21st-century filmmaking -- indeed, of filmmaking as a whole -- Steere's mythical masterwork captures the essence of cinema in the very subtlest of ways. How did Steere create his magnum opus? How did Steere bring a millenia-old Velociraptor to life? How did Steere cure all mankind of its ills with a single film? Listen to this episode and you will know the answers to these questions, and so much more.
