What no one has been clamoring for: It’s Pat vs. John for the soul of America! They don’t even bother talking to each other this episode, instead preferring to go on separate rambling monologues about the new Late show. At least, I assume that’s what they do – I didn’t listen to this one.

It’s Christmas in July in August on Pop Culture Continuum! Michael Morris sits with John & Pat to discuss two Christmas Classics – Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny, a film that featured a methed out Santa stuck on a beach, and The Star Wars Holiday Special, a special that featured Bea Arthur singing a song in the Star Wars Cantina.

John & Pat avoid the Netflix hype and discuss the original non streaming version of Daredevil. They marvel (word play!) at the world of difference between the world of Daredevil in the 1960’s compared to his world in the 1980’s. By the way, wouldn’t those criminals be surprised to find out that Daredevil was blind?

Michael joins Pat & John for another look at drag culture – this time with 75% less white devils! Except for the hosts, of course. Paris is Burning Rupaul’s Drag Race
