Dead Eyes (2020, Episode 10: "Moose/Nixon") - Two high profile actors who starred in Band of Brothers join our host this week to hash out some of the details of the fateful day that now notorious scene was filmed nearly 20 years ago.

It couldn't be done all at once, because (A) the shredder kept overheating, and (B) I kept running out of places to store the shreds. (They take up considerably more room than the unshredded sheets of paper.) 75  ✅  Clean off the workbench Getting rid of the shred pile was the main roadblock in completing this task, but it's done. And now there's a bike up ...
