Today, which happens to be Election Day in America, is a Tuesday, which also means it’s Babbling On Day. Since we probably won’t know the election results until at least tomorrow, we’re proceeding with the podcast business as usual, and 2 hours spent discussing the Nora Ephron classic You’ve Got Mail seems like a better use of one’s time than doom scrolling, so why don’t you hop on over to the polls and soundtrack your vote with nearly two hours and 15 minutes of Ephronian discussion with two-time Emmy nominee Mr. Amanda Carzoli. Enjoy! We love you Meg Ryan.

Chase is the most preeminent Lordatian scholar working today, and there’s so much to cover. Don’t worry, we’re touching on the whole career of the damn lady, but we will be specifically focusing on her sun-drenched weed album, for reasons that will become clear… in time.

You asked, we delivered. Our coverage of Keira Knightley’s magical ouevre is back. Oh, honey, yes, it is back. The coverage returns with Knightlatian scholar Professor Isa James Braun, who reveals her college thesis statement about our favorite actress and provides important insight into the collective work of one of history’s most influential trailblazers.
