0:00.0	Hey everybody, Dando here and welcome to the show. This week, we're going to be giving you one of our
0:04.5	Patreon exclusive reviews and we're giving it to you for free. And since the Oscar nominations
0:08.9	have just been announced, I've gone ahead and chosen a star as Burns, an episode that we
0:13.3	reviewed a couple of years ago. And with Guy being a film reviewer for 30 plus years, this was

1:01.5	But first, we have a special guest, Rainier Wolfcastle, star of the reprehensible McBain movies.
1:09.5	Jay, my new film is a mix of action and comedy.
1:13.1	It's called McBain.
1:14.8	Let's get silly.
1:16.6	Did you ever notice how men always leave the toilet seat up?
