Ever since there has been music, people have been singing each other’s songs. Sometimes it’s a loving tribute, other times it’s a disaster, and a lot of the time it’s a fairly inoffensive, if lazy, rip-off. Occasionally though, the music gods deliver unto us a new version of a song that takes us to a new place in our minds and hearts – all in the span of about 4-5 minutes. Well, we’ve taken on the task of delving into the depths of our musical knowledge and sharing our favorite cover songs with you!

The one constant through the years, Ray, has been baseball… or, in our case, idiocy and a complete inability to hold to a schedule. Either way, we’re following up our previous episode (which was delayed due to personal schedules and various tomfoolery) with this episode (which was also delayed due to scheduling snafus and other assorted highjinks) because what better way to finish up the baseball season (a few weeks too late) than by going through our favorite movies?!

As some of you long-time listeners might know, this podcast was born (some would say inflicted but those negative nellies can go suck an egg) into this world tangentially related to New England sports teams. Rather than only calling each other after championships, we decided to start this podcast as a more effective means of staying in touch.

After a 20 year hiatus, WWE decided it was about time to resurrect the Bad Blood pay per view, just with one less D because… you know… shrinkflation. It was a fairly stacked card featuring Hell In A Cell returning home to the event that spawned the dastardly contraption meant to settle all family business.
