The Upper Peninsula road grind is officially in full swing! 🚗💨 Recording live from a hotel room on the move in St. Ignace, Michigan—after a massive driving loop through Sault Ste. Marie, Paradise, the Lower Falls State Park, and Newberry—the Elite Force Podcast wraps up our double-feature week with a deep dive into the undisputed king of theatrical camp and charisma: the legendary Tim Curry.
