We’re back, it’s a new year, and a lot has happened. The US has invaded in Venezuela, kidnapped, its leader, and started plundering its natural resources; Trump now wants to do the same thing to Greenland; federal ICE troops have occupied Minnesota and started killing civilians; and RFK has inverted the food pyramid, telling everyone that drinking raw whole milk is the key to good health. We’re only a few days into 2026, and all of these are actual things that have really happened in just a few days. We talked this, as well as the series, finale of Stranger Things, the real finale of Stranger Things, and a quirky movie called Bugonia. All this and more, and we’re still going on about that. Recorded on January 8, 2026.
