In this episode, podcaster (and one of Leah's BFFs) joins the pod to chat about Triple Frontier and Oscar Isaac's real-life friendship with co-star Pedro Pascal. Bri and Leah have some speculative thoughts on that subject.

**CORRECTION: Leah correctly introduces Pedro's character as "Catfish," but at some point, Bri and Leah just started referring to the character as "Fish" and never stopped. The character's name is Catfish, not Fish.

Find Bri!
