    Lent, Hicksploitation, and Alpha Males

    Explicit

    This week, Bunny and Scot are off the rails—in the best possible way. What starts as a casual convo about giving up horror movies for Lent spirals into a full-blown exploration of Hicksploitation cinema, including weird cult classics like Sassy Sue and The Pig Keeper’s Daughter. But it doesn't stop there. They tackle big existential questions: Should churches pay taxes? Is society progressing or just spinning in circles? And when do traditional ideas of masculinity help—or totally screw you over? Expect deep thoughts, dumb movies, killer quotes, and at least one mention of Jerry Reed in Scooby-Doo. If you're a Gen-Xer who grew up on Fangoria, fish fries, and philosophical debates, this one’s for you.
