Whitney and Andrew join forces to discuss how this movie fails to deliver the goods because it spends too much time on things that don't really matter: children's birthday parties, restaurant visits, petting cats with angel hair pasta boxes, and introducing secret third best friends in the final act. Regardless, there was still fun to be had, particularly for Andrew during the credits.

It's all in the reflexes with this episode. We lean hard into this cult classic and our third Russell/Carpenter collab. We talk about how this movie pretty expertly shows that your protagonist isn't always the lead, how it handles race in a decade that was rather insensitive to it all, POGS, underground poker rings, and so much more!

Join Whitney, Lindsey, and Andrew as they discuss this prestige drama, cry foul at the MPAA for their dumb and arbitrary ratings systems, fight valiantly against The Void, and ultimately come out the other side with relatively little contamination.
