220 - Wild Napalms: Fire Talk With Me feat. Adrian DeLaTorre

Because there is nothing going on in the world, in history, across the infinite spatio-temporal expanses . . . we watched a movie that Time forgot or never knew to even try to remember, Wilder Napalm (Trailer & Full Movie). Adrian DeLaTorre (@b00tz2big, Never Seen It) joins us once again to meditate upon a timeless tale of two brothers who can generate and control fire with their minds. One (Dennis Quaid) is a brash carnival clown seeking fame and fortune via his powers, the other (Arliss Howard) is a Kwik Foto booth attendant, volunteer firefighter, and a fulltime cuck who fears the use of his powers. Then there's the sexually insatiable, deeply intellectual, manic pixie dream minx and accidental arsonist (Debra Winger) who they both vie for the affections of. Classic storytelling. Also, Jim Varney plays a carnie (or itinerate carnival employee, to be politically correct).
