EP. 324 — Absolution LIVE! (w/ Jessica St. Clair)

HDTGM all-star Jessica St. Clair returns to help break down the 1997 sci-fi masterpiece Absolution (aka The Journey: Absolution) starring Mario Lopez, Jaime Pressly, & Richard Grieco. Recorded LIVE from Largo in LA, they discuss the title credits over b-roll of lava, the awful sex scene, Team Z’s long underwear, and Richard Grieco’s inspired performance.

And hello people of Largo! We are live. We are live in Los Angeles to talk about the 1997 sci fi classic Absolution. It is a movie where you could easily be confused because I thought it was the Ab solution with Mario Lopez, which I found out is an actual real thing. He does have a workout video called The Ab solution. He also has one called the Ab Final Solution. That’s really, don’t watch that. Weird period in Mario Lopez’s life.
