Mt. Rushmore of Fictional Cool Guys

Mt. Rushmore Podcast

This week we take a look at the coolest cats around (and we're not talking about Heathcliff). It's our look at the most definitely and iconic cool guys from TV and film. Because when you are looking for experts on cool, look no further than three guys running a podcast out of a spare bedroom.

And make sure you stick around until the end for a shocking cliffhanger that will leave your cliff hung (again, not Heathcliff).
