MC #101: Splice

This episode, Andrew and Morgan get psychoanalytical in their discussion of Vincenzo Natali's Splice.  Is this film about a genetic hybrid your typical monster flick, or is there more below the surface?  Also includes QuickChatter reviews and DVD Recommendations.  Plus, in our bonus iPhone content, they talk about everything from Pixar films to why it's always a good idea to throw a baby.
