157 - Pt. 2 - Almost Heroes (RT)

Ok, so maybe Matthew Perry can only play (variations of) Chandler Bing. But is that a bad thing? And how can anyone discuss ALMOST HEROES without talking about Chris Farley’s legacy and how it was cut short? Can Alex come to terms with Julio’s feelings about one of his favorite comedians? Can Julio explain why his favorite FRIENDS cast member didn’t become a movie star? All this and more on the Real Talk half of this episode!
