'After Hours' with Noah Ballard | Homers & Roamers

Noah Ballard is back to talk Scorsese’s ‘80s comeback, this film’s cavalcade of hilarious characters, and times his parking garage has flooded. We made it home, friends. I have a long beard now.

My sister Grace is here to discuss why "O Brother Where Art Thou?" was one of our childhood touchstones, flex some translation knowledge, and play a disturbing album sales game.
