November 27th, 2019 · 114 minutes
Things kick off with a check-in on Watchmen. Is John feeling more confident about it? There are MacGuffins inside of MacGuffins. John is still enjoying the Apple TV+ shows, and Merlin thinks expectation deflation can really work in your favor. John didn't remember that Jennifer Aniston was in Office Space.
In a related mini-topic, Merlin wants to talk about The Mandalorian as a way to explore what we like about Star Wars. Unsurprisingly, John is avoiding a poster, and Merlin gets schooled on the importance and greatness of Return of the Jedi. Thank goodness for our fellow fans who grew up to make new Star Wars for us.
John has qualms with Merlin's neologism and doesn't even like when people do that anyway. The summer of 1982 was wild.
Your hosts try to explain live TV to their children. Also: telephones.
Finally, it's time to clear out some more Secret Weird Things People Do. No spoilers. Just…listen.
