Wasted Potential is back and we have returned to our original commentary track format to laugh over the 1997 film Anaconda. It's one of our favorite bad, baffling blockbuster films and we definitely don't talk about the movie itself. We do talk about cleavage, strokes, gay horror icons, prostitute dreams, and snake trivia. And, yes! Those are the sounds of animals running around and barking and if you listen closely, you can hear Shane's food wrappers...

Wasted Potential is back with a new Glass Half Full episode an our old pal Mike. Today we talk about Mike's favorite movie of all time: 1997's The Fifth Element. We ask might our usual questions: when did you first see the film, what are three things you love, and what is one aspect you would change. If it seems like Shane was kicked in the head by a mule and that Ronnie is more of a cantankerous b**** than usual, stick around to the end to figure out why. This episode features excerpts from: the Fifth Element, Mars Attacks, Burn After Reading, 40 Year Old Virgin, Leon the Professional, Super Bad, Godzilla, Rick and Morty, South Park, and Arachnophobia.
