No one is who they seem in The Second Lady, a barley seen paranoia drenched thriller from 1977.

The lines between a con and a theft, between an actor's real life and the role he plays, between sanity and madness, all begin to blur in 1971's The Bingo Game. Dominic Dierkes (Workaholics, Solar Opposites) joins Ben to talk about drifters, cheats, and con men in the movie that makes the guys wonder - was this elder abuse?

Is it possible to finish a movie without your star? Whatever the answer is, they tried in the 1993 comedy FirefightHer. Tawny Newsome (Star Trek: Lower Decks, Bajillion Dollar Propertie$) tells Ben about one of her favorite genres and also how to name a horse.
