Happy holidays and winter solstice, chicken tikkas! It’s nearly the end of the year so we are here to spread some seasonal cheer with our hot takes on Steven Soderbergh’s Let Them All Talk starring Meryl Streep, Dianne Wiest, and Candice Bergen; the pieces of pop culture that got us through the hellmouth that was 2020, and finally we each come with surprises for the other. If you like surprises like us then read no further, SPOILERS AHEAD. 

Anne brings a long lost audio record of her and Damian coordinating a guest’s travel for an episode, and Damian brings Anne the top 5-ish lesbians from Golden Globe-nominee Nikki Blonsky. You might know her from Hairspray (2007). Happy New Year! We love you all.
