Show Notes
Holly does the Shimmy Slide with lawyer-actor-singer-director hyphenate John De Wirt's magnum opus, Champagne and Bullets (1993, aka Road to Revenge aka GetEven). De Hart recruits unhinged veterans Wings Hauser and William Smith along with Playboy Playmate Pamela Bryant for a tale of two LAPD cops-turned-limo drivers who tangle with a crooked cop/devil worshipper. Listen as we collectively loose our minds while witnessing multiple slow motion sex scenes set to De Wirt's drawling vocals, infanticide, stage hand prop maneuvers, and more on this week's exciting show! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
