On this episode of Plot Spackle, the guys fix the plot holes in the 80's movie Flash Gordon.  John is on top of British fashion, Richard thinks football players might just be bad at math, and Eric is the guy he warns you about.  So grab your space jet ski, lead the rebellion you kinda just stumble into, and join us for Plot Spackle! (Also in this episode we totally mix up Roger Moore, and Timothy Dalton, so whenever we say Roger Moore, we actually meant Timothy Dalton.  So just use your imaginations.)
