Cult Of Muscle!!!!!!!!

The family that eats roasted penis and plucks children from Vietnam together is the family that sticks together.  This week Jake finds new depths he couldn't dream of in our review of the gloriously vulgar The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover.  We then trot on over to Vietnam with everyone's favorite father figure Wings Hauser in the Brian Trenchard Smith explosive-laden The Siege of Firebase Gloria!
