For the series finale of CABBAGES, Gary and Jeff put the long-running Wrestling Season to rest with some help from beloved returning guests ELUCID (of Armand Hammer) and Fatboi Sharif. Still basking in the eerie glow of the summertime release of their joint Invasion Body Camera project, the bespoke hip-hop duo put a period on the pod's six year run with a lively, provocative discussion of Hell Comes To Frogtown (1988, dir. Donald G. Jackson and R. J. Kizer, starring "Rowdy" Roddy Piper & Rory "Always Standing & Walking" Calhoun).

Michael Caton-Jones, co-starring Richard Gere and Sidney Poitier).
