MBA (Movies, Books, and Albums)
Movies, Books, Albums.
It's not that kind of "MBA".
Taking turns to nominate a movie, book, or album, three guys take you down rabbit holes and side-streets as each unpacks their take on elements that excite their curiosity... sometimes resulting in chaotic romps through the ridiculous.
What is it about the plot points in "Paddington in Peru" that remind Thorin of Nazi attempts to build the Fourth Reich in South America, and trigger memories of the "Cannibal Holocaust" for Devon? And how does David's discussion of a seminal country-rock album lead them to Charles Manson within three minutes?
