This week, Allison and Clint are joined by Jacob Oller (Paste Magazine, One Perfect Shot, Syfy Wire) to finally react to This Is Us' dramatic Super Bowl episode - and the reveal of Jack's actual death. In the episode, our hosts also celebrate some transcendent fierceness on RuPaul's Drag Race All-Stars, dig into the turn-of-the-century pseudoscience of The Alienist, and debate whether or not Queer Eye's Netflix reboot is a welcome update to the self-improvement show, or mere exploitation of Trump-era social issues with a glossy makeover. 

Grab your triple-layered wigs and a fuckton of cats, and take a listen!
