This week on the Talk Without Rhythm Podcast I'm continuing with the Patreon Picks with a selection from TWoRP Legionnaire Steven King. Inspired by its recent appearance on The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs, Steve requested I take a look at the 1988 Zombie Buddy Cop Comedy Dead Heat. I opted to pair it with a flick from my youth watching Joe Bob's Monstervision - 1986's The Wraith. 

But before we get into that, Steve and I sit down with his Invasion of the Podcast co-host Paul to discuss the recent controversy surrounding Mr. Briggs, and how that fits into the ever-evolving conversation around the separation of "art" and "artist."
