  • Episode 253: Bonus Episode - Daddio/Locke (2014)
    Oct 15 2024

    On a very special meme-worthy bonus episode of THE THIRD ACT PODCAST, Christian is going on another epic rant.

    Christian and Jericho follow up on a 10 year in-joke by taking another look at the 2014 high concept man in car drama LOCKE (which originally pushed Christian into near meltdown mode) and pairing it with another character-driven drama taking place entirely inside a vehicle, DADDIO, for an episode titled "Daddio Locked In".

    They also discuss TAP superfan lore, Sean Penn's sun-bleached leather football face, dick picks, Colleen Hoover hate, Ivan Locke's deep love of concrete, daddy issues, and Donal's hard cider.
