Crank was bored and Norton loved podcasts...thus was born the Crankcast! This is generally an alcohol lubricated bull-session between Crank and Norton plus the occasional guest. Think of it as chatting with friends at a local bar. We talk about comics, movies and whatever else we feel like at the moment.
