This week, Rob and Joseph talk the Pauly Shore filmography and then discuss episode 5 of Moon Knight, the series’ best episode yet. We then talk Elon Musk’s buying of Twitter, Marjorie Taylor Greene‘s testimony regarding her insurrection, Madison Cawthorn and his slow expulsion from the republican party, and Donald J Trump, found in contempt of court, looking all gloppy and sweaty, and living in perpetual fear of being pelted with fruit. We talk a little bit about the student loan debt crisis at the end, and we’re looking forward to the conclusion of Moon Knight next week. All this and a lot more - these are the things we’re still going on about. Recorded and released on April 28, 2022.
