Walker and Zach mirror the arc of My Chemical Romance AND Reprise Records by taking one last pass at Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge before moving on from this era of the band. Join the brothers as they unpack the 2006 documentary "Life on the M*rder Scene", a relic from Zach's FUSE TV era.
They also check in on movie theater etiquette, decide if Texas Chainsaw Massacre is scary , and recount Zach’s (accidental) theater faux pas when he saw The Departed. They cap of their discussion with a sincere love letter to Gerard Ways artistry and his love of comics and a whole lot more.
