Consider this proof of life. The PNAC boys still can't get a flight out of Khartoum after negotiations for our first live show went.... well not the way we wanted them to go. As we work tirelessly with the State Department here is some bonus content of the boys having a deliriously long conversation with producer Tim about 1995's Johnny Mnemonic for his show about computer movies Grim Tones. This was recorded like a year ago so I can't summarize shit but it was a lot of fun and you should listen

If you find this an unpleasant bummer just remember it could have been The Devil’s Rejects. Also, this was recorded mere days before the A24 Death Stranding movie was announced and Ben and Tim are very excited while Erik still doesn’t understand what you actually do in that game. Next episode we are going back to where this show started, Tim Burton’s psychosexual Christmas time melodrama that boldly asks “Tim, you know this is a movie for kids right?”, Batman Returns (1992).

Once again the boys are back and joined by friend of the show/WTEH third mic, Tim, to stare directly into the sun (Erik was reportedly staring directly into Cillian Murphy's eyes, actually) and lose our minds over Danny Boyle and Alex Garland's 2007 thriller, Sunshine. If any references seem dated, it's because we recorded this thing back in like August. Erik and Ben will be back on the PNAC ish sooner rather than later and we'll have another WTEH out in a couple weeks on Darren Aronofsky's
