In the midst of the 2020 pandemic, we bring to you The Podcastination Of Ryan James by The Coward Duncan Ford. A silly take on serious cinema where we chat about prestige pics without being pretentious pricks. Get to know your hosts by learning how their relationship blossomed in a state park bathroom, the movies that traumatized them as children, and the themes of spiritual angst, outsiders, and dark humor that run through their favorite films.

02:59 - In The Beginning - How RyGuy and Dunks’ relationship came to fruition in a state park bathroom…
