The 2022 Oscars Draft w/ Mitch Wells of THOU

As we find ourselves knee deep in oscar bait and award-season fodder, we asked returning guest, film champion, fellow Dunable-slinging bassist, and low end legend of the band Thou (Mitch Wells) to come talk gear, tour, movies, and the Oscars if we got to pick em. From the funny, to the sad, to the horror, to the blockbuster bangers, we cover it all in what is surely the most difficult draft we have done so far. If you want to hear the full version of this episode where we talk about the "Barbie" Trailer, "65", "Avatar: The Way of Water", and so much more, you can get access to that and so many more bonus episodes and extended interviews at the Rigs of Dad Patreon Page where you can also hear more unedited, ad-free interviews with previous guests, patreon exclusives, and beyond!
