Seriously, how was Veronica possibly picked to be a juror? We comb through the finer points of her civil service including "the Todd" and one badass woman.

Clemens not only has cunning and a cozy job, but is apparently super strong? We cover a case of bad interpretation, Buffy reunions, and wild endings. Does anyone have access to our permanent files?

There's a version of Kendall Casablancas that could be actually great; instead we get fears of women made manifest.

This week has a lot of high highs, and a lot of low lows. On the one hand, we're excited to welcome in Vincent Van Lowe and his particular brand of buffoonery. On the other hand, the episode seems to really miss the point on Hamilton's plight. We discuss Amelia Delongpre's amazing name, so bad they're good reenactments, and the Tiger King?

Why does Mr. Rooks place his daughter behind a gate? She can still hear you! Theme Music from https://filmmusic.io&...
