Hollywood went deep into copaganda in July 1989 (Batman, Lethal Weapon 2, AND Turner & Hooch?!), and Ann M. Martin went even deeper into the Kubler-Ross model in this exquisitely realized portrayal of death and grief. Grab your weighted blanket for this one, kids, cause it's the Coping with Existential Despair Hour! YAY!

Brooke and Kaykay discuss Claudia's attempt to find meaning in loss and their own experiences with the grieving process, with digressions on Kaykay's Cool Aunt status and a pitch for a gritty reboot of a Nickelodeon classic.

But really: This is a heavier episode than usual, so you may want to plan your listening accordingly.

And fear not: All will be brought into balance with extra fart and/or menstruation jokes in the next episode.
