To make matters worse, strange and ominous audio clips appeared in Carlos' recording sessions. Foreboding messages of past...present...and future!!!
What possibly could this week's episode hold. The only way to find out is to press play!

The first being Sound Of Metal where we break down all the things they got right and wrong about being in a metal band. The second if the very ~meta~ film about filmmakers and how they feel about film (question mark) Black Bear starring Aubrey Plaza.
