As we previously promised, here is the first video highlight from the Mep Reporters, filmed on location at Eagle Studios.  We’ll post several more of these highlights over the coming weeks, and will have the edited audio version available here soon.  Here the Meppers discuss the finer points of Krull, a movie Russ has inexplicably never seen.
