This week however, the gang sit down and answer the hardest questions they've encountered yet. Is Freddy Got Fingered secretly the smartest comedy of the modern age? Are people wrong about Freddy Got Fingered? Is Tom Green... a genius? All those questions and so much more is answered this week... on Bombed!

That film being the bizarre rock musical Lisztomania, starring Who frontman Roger Daltrey as the legendary composer Franz Liszt. The film too a bit more than lead actor from Tommy too.

MAY 17th, 1991. The film debut of Brian "The Boz" Bosworth, Stone Cold, arrived in theaters to massive apathy.
