Wherein your hosts talk about the Dungeons and Dragons movie, the Netflix series BEEF (and why it's not just television, but a work of art) and spend an hour crying about Uhtred and Finan and Sihtric. Spoilers the entire time, for absolutely everything.

Wherein your hosts talk about the recent Teachers Convention that M attended and how she spent her time (spoiler: exactly how you think she did), why the most recent season of Outlander is a solid stinker (Spoilers, I guess), and which iteration of Queen Elizabeth they'd most like to have dinner with.

Wherein your hosts talk about Peter Kavinsky and The Recruit, Vincent Lecavalier's SI shoot, and Sidney Crosby's dump truck ass.

Wherein your hosts talk about the reading list of all reading lists and why it's bad, what books they'd put on their own "must-read" list, why the end of Season 5 of The Crown leaves very little hope, which casting decisions were spot-on and which needed some retooling, why Glass Onion was a good companion to Knives Out and why Paul Rudd should star as the murderer in the next insalment.

Wherein your hosts talk about why the twist at the end of Don't Worry Darling doesn't make a ton of sense, how Florence Pugh is incredible always, why Chris Pine was perfect in DWD, how much they enjoyed Lindsay Lohan's new Netflix movie, how it's possible to have too many tropes at once, how Christmas movies can be split into 4 tiers, how the new season of The Crown is very grim, why it's hard to be sympathetic to some of the characters this time around, and how there might be some real truth in the show after all. Listen to the end to find out what movie they're going to watch for the next movie commentary ep. It's a doozy.

Wherein your hosts talk about their most recent reunion to see John Mulaney, why a no-phones show is both good and bad, answer all the weird woul you rathers that K could find, discuss the influx of 'ADHD influencers" and some terrifically bad labelling, and how the beginning of the school year has gone.

Wherein your hosts talk about the things they've read and watched in their unintended 2 month hiatus, decide which 99 is the best of all time, whether Pawnee or Eagleton are better comparisons for Edmonton and Calgary (though Red Deer is DEFINITELY Shelbyville), and decided that they are most like Benvolio.

Wherein your hosts talk about Season 4 of Stranger Things for 1 hour and 45 minutes. Spoilers, obviously.

Wherein your hosts talk for 1 hour and 40 minutes about season 5 of The Last Kingdom (spoilers, I guess).

Wherein your hosts spend about 30 minutes talking about The Batman, and pondering the purpose of dim hospital lights in the DCU, and another 45 minutes talking about all the longing in this season of Bridgerton. That's it. That's the episode. Come back next time if you want to hear 2+ hours about Uhtred's bad luck in season 5 of The Last Kingdom.
