ZEBRAS IN AMERICA EPISODE 32 & 33

These last couple of episodes of Zebras In America have quite a few things in common. Not only do they both feature guests/friends of ours (Mikhail Karadimov & The Pink Smoke respectively) but both episodes are also centered around Hal Hartley to some extent (Scott has been getting acquainted with the films of Hartley over the last few weeks).

Listen as we go from my living room in Brooklyn with Mikhail (episode 32) to Parsippany New Jersey to meet celebrities & buy bootleg DVD's at the Chiller convention (episode 33).
