Episode 6 - (Not) Manhunter

While we all loved Michael Mann's 1986 cult classic, our recorder didn't. Joe quickly fills us in on what's been going wrong behind the scenes and how we tried to record this episode not once but TWICE to no avail. Then stick around for the final 30 min of the original "Manhunter" recording which is actually pretty entertaining. The jury is still out on whether or not this was a fiendish plot by the Tooth Fairy to tear the hosts of this show apart or it was just a case of shitty technology. You be the judge.
