Seeing Things S2, Ep5 “Eyes Too Big For His Stomach,” and Press Gang S1, Ep8 “How to Make a Killing, Part 2”

Paul launches into the next episodes in these series, Seeing Things Season 2, Episode 5 “Eyes Too Big For His Stomach,” and Press Gang Series 1, Episode 8 “How to Make a Killing, Part 2.” There’s a Louis/Marlon teamup and yet Paul still hasn’t profiled the actor who plays Marlon? Now is that fair? Well, it’s because a guest star was in another Canadian property Paul has looked at in the past, so it’s understandable. In the conclusion of the Press Gang two-parter, Paul checks out another core cast member. And between the two shows, there are looks at a large candy bar and a German owned UK version of a French magazine.
