Episode 80: Umbrella Academy Hotel Oblivion

Our VERY EX$PEN$IVE manager says we need to pivot to make up GRWM (Get-Ready-With-Me's) cause thats where the markets going. This is why we pay them the big bucks we obviously make on this show. So listen as we chat while doing our makeup for a gurls night out and discuss eyebrows, tiny pies, and a surprise appearance by a special guest. To listen to this properly, please put on Kim Petras' discography quietly in the background. Except for Shinin.... Regular episode next week luvsss.  

Minisode: Getting Ready for Kim Petras

This week we play Donut County, a fun physics based mobile game where you slowly swallow an entire town of animal-people with your phone app that creates ever-expanding holes in the ground. Despite what seems like high stakes, this game is surprisingly chill. Listen as T struggles to relate the tale of BK Raccoon to late-capitalism, Al makes a poppers joke (that T promised they'd cut out lol), and we laugh a few times at having to talk about holes so much.

Episode 79: Donut County

Back by popular demand, we return to reading Preacher. This week we read the third arc, "All in the Family" and despite being a gruesome account of Jessie's upbringing it is an engaging and exciting read. Listen as we meet the last place finisher in the Grandma of the year competition, we fall in love with Jessie and Tulip (Julip?), and about 20 mins in Al explains something about the book that gives T galaxy brain.

Episode 78: Preacher “All in the Family”

This week we extend spooky month out an extra week to finish off our play through of Until Dawn.

Also Sam takes a fourth quarter turn into being "that one friend who's really into rock climbing and now won't shut up about it".

It's all come to this.

And when is Mac's redemption arc coming, cause the casual homophobia is getting a little long in the tooth.
