A word about the conclusion of the impeachment trial; thoughts on FRAMING BRITNEY SPEARS on HULU; THE INVESTIGATION on HBOMAX; THE GREAT BRITISH BAKING SHOW (formerly the GREAT BRITISH BAKE OFF) on Netflix

Ruthe and Mike discuss Marjorie Taylor Greene and the possible future of the Republican Party; Mike watched TOY STORY for the first time; Ruthe endorses IN & OF ITSELF on Hulu and LADY AND THE DALE on HBO MAX.

(Note on production: The sound quality is rough in this episode because we had to use the Zoom iPhone application instead of the usual one that allows for the use of our upgraded microphones. Also, out of an abundance of caution, the music drops were left off of this episode; we hope to have the values back to their usual levels in the next one.

Final note:  I used the incorrect pronoun while discussing THE LADY AND THE DALE; I promise to do better in the future.)

Technical issues have overtaken us the past 10 days. We're working our hardest to get you the next pod this weekend!
