    WHAT?? WHERE AM I? WHAT YEAR IS IT??? We've FINALLY gotten back on track and released our first podcast for 2024, but our 3rd Episode for Season 3. Today were have a the mammoth task of casting one of the great 90's war films 'Saving Private Ryan'..... not once, but twice!! We could decide whether decide to go with a comedy/parody version or stay true to the drama of the original, so we though "Why not both???" (Cue the little girl from the Old El Paso commercial). Anyway, thanks for sticking with us and we hope you enjoy the episode.
