AIBN Presents: THE FISTCAST!

Often imitated, never bettered—in 2009, the illustrious collective known as ‘The Professionals’ conspired to found a cinema-centric haven whereon to bestow their musings and ephemera upon like-minded romanticists in pursuit of an alternative source of cultural commentary with a masculine edge... they called it AIN'T IT BALE NEWS. <br /> <br /> In 2014, AIBN founding members; DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD, Koutchboom, and Hawaiian Organ Donor launched THE FISTCAST, a free-wheelin', hard-cocked exploration of the arts—by way of love, liberty, and brotherhood—the apex of perfection whereby all other film podcasts must be compared, and found wanting. <br /> <br /> “Solicit my advice and you awaken Truth; for I speak no other tongue. Spill my blood and you let flow Professionalism; for I know no other way to live." <br /> ~ BALE 4:14 <br /> <br />
