Episode #398: 'The Big Lebowski' with Kevin Avery

Our own Mr. January, Kevin Avery, joins the crew IRL (!!!) for an episode all about one of Ify’s favorite movies, The Big Lebowski. With a foursome made up of half long-time Little Lebowskis and half newcomers to the film, we’re tackling a much-memorized Coen Classic with fresh(ish) eyes. Plus, some Very Big Show News and a rundown of movies we can’t shut up about.
