Jimmy decides to catch up on some season finales and even a premiere! He got regular reviewer Melissa, new reviewer Kirstie and even Producer Joe to send in their thoughts on one show each. SPOILERS abound in our reviews so be warned. Some had very controversial seasons. Some were just outstanding. Some were even just a big pile of fun. What did we all think? Did you see any of these?

Jimmy and Producer Joe celebrate their 20th anniversary with a special live recording with guests Michael Emerson, Greg Pak and Cynthia Von Buhler. While a bit last minute due to schedules & other glitches, it all came together nicely! As usual, Jimmy wrote some silly parody songs and sang them along with the CNI Chorus consisting of Sara Garfinkel, Kami Graves and Amy Wolk. Always funnier since we didn't really rehearse it much. We also get a very special news segment with Sara and Kami though make sure you check their sources. Thanks to the friends who came and even brought friends! It was a different set up as well because Producer Joe had to stay in the tech booth for most of the show. But it all turned out to be the usual fun times had by all!

It's a Free Comic Book Day review special! Jimmy chose 6 random FCBD books to review. Some good lead ins into their upcoming series. But what's with the numbering of the episode? 1602-1610? What does it mean? Technically, this is episode 1610. Jimmy explains the number skip from last episode to this one. Trust! It makes sense. Did you check out any FCBD books? Which was your fave?

Jimmy sat down with famed Sesame Street puppeteer Kathleen Kim! Kathleen is the voice/puppeteer for the first Asian-American puppet on Sesame Street, Ji-young. They talked about how she got into puppetry, her early love of muppets, working with Awkwafina, how she finds her character voices, growing up Korean-American, fave foods, K-pop and so much more! A delightful, fun and laid back conversation. Thanks to Kathy for taking the time!
