Christopher Cowles
Co-Host of Criticless Cast Unhinged
Chris Cowles, international man of mystery who has not lost his mojo. Favorite movie is Snatch and pretty much anything Guy Ritchie. Essentially a ghost because he has no internet presence (but maybe you’ve heard of buttaboi69). You can always rely on him to poke the bear or make a wise crack. Also, he’s really good at IT - have you turned it off and on again?
Christopher Cowles has hosted 116 Episodes.

It's finally time to say goodbye to Daniel Craig's James Bond, the longest running Bond in film history, and we really need to ask ourselves a few questions... like, did we really need this movie? Is this incarnation of Bond even Bond? and did this movie actually get postponed so long due to extremely controversial subject matter and obvious predictive programing? We discuss it all this week on the Aroused pod. Also, is everyone just plain wrong about this movie?
