A Way to Be a Bad Guy Biker
MST3K 202 • The Sidehackers
Hosted by Chris Piuma and Charlotte Wells
The Sidehackers (or is it The Side Hackers?) revs its engines real loud and makes it hard for Chris and Charlotte to talk about sexual violence, friendly bikers, unfriendly bikers, sidehacking, and Rommel’s book.
cw: This is a heavy episode, and we talk about sexual violence (including a discussion about the notorious scene that was edited out of the movie) as well as other histories of violence.
