The SLS Cast

Welcome to Episode 343 of the SLS Cast w/Matt and Tim. A day after an unfortunate night out where Tim forced down a tallboy can of Sour Green Apple Four Loco and a fortunate weekend where Matt had some fun Oklahoma-family fun time, the boys continue to catch you (their favorite listener) up on all the flicks they saw (and felt are worth reviewing) that were released during their time away. Sit back, relax and take a trip through the Silver Lenticular Screen with The SLS Cast!
