# Episode #306 – The Fanatic

We’ve been wanting to tackle this one for quite a while, folks, and… oof. Be careful what you wish for. [Adal Rifai](https://twitter.com/adalrifai?lang=en) of the podcast “[Hello From the Magic Tavern](https://hellofromthemagictavern.com/)” joins us to discuss [The Fanatic](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7869070/), the movie that asks “What if Fred Durst directed a movie starring a career-self-destructing John Travolta as a man with a developmental disability, with his trademark Limp Bizkit sensitivity?” Meanwhile, Stuart invents the newest horror movie killer, Elliott attacks Dan for his nonexistent position on backstory, and Dan misses Leggs.
