On June 30, to pass the time while driving the U-Haul full of the Bayers' stuff to San Diego, our friend Mike Khavul interviewed us. We talked about the current state of film, what we'd criticize if there were no movies, how we came to be friends, and a lot of other things. It's an hour long, and the recording conditions (the cab of a U-Haul traveling 55 mph on I-5 in central California) were not pristine. Nonetheless, Movie B.S. devotees may find it amusing. Or not. Look, it's free.
