DISCLAIMER: The global icon in this episode is so monumental, you’d face the Battle of Five Armies, the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and Nightmare Alley just to get a glimpse of her Blue Jasmine. She may be Australia’s answer to Meryl Streep, everyone’s Mistress America, and Lydia F*ckin’ Tár, but this two time Academy Award winner’s most important role to date is as this week’s Miss Thing — CATE BLANCHETT! In this ep, Tim looks back on the bathroom adventure that left his mom waving down every car on the highway to check if he was in their trunk while Greg harkens back to a night he was being an irresistible Carol at a party and unknowingly seduced someone out of the closet. NOTE (on this Scandal): Greg doesn’t remember the plot of Carol at all… Tim also talks about the Ubatuba tour he wants the pod to go on, Greg demands a Pink eye and Pink tongue check, and they both divulge more than a few divine secrets of the Ya-Ya sisterhood. They also taste test a taffy so tart it causes an eye twitch, ask the important Q: “Can straight men work at an Acai restaurant,” and scream/cry over the tour de force feat of cinema that is “The Substance.” They also pay tribute to the original sequel queen Maggie Smith and play two very important new games: “Sister, Mother, Daughter: K/Cate Edition” and “Elizabeth The First or Elizabeth The Second”. So Inertias, break out your roomtempanadas and chow down as you listen to an episode so good it’ll go down as a defining artifact of our new Golden Age. Oh and don’t forget it’s EGTFIT+W awareness month so wave those flags high and proud!! BONK!
