This episode was recorded in front of a live, marina audience. That audience consisted of ice cream peddlers, pedicab drivers, Marvel fans on a boat, and entitled ladies who thought they could just walk right into San Diego Comic-Con and interview a chef. Opening clip courtesy of Betty Gilpin, from the Entertainment Weekly Women Who Kick Ass panel.

Join Liz and Mel as they talk - FACE TO FACE! - about the first few days of SDCC, no longer feeling beholden to The CW, Batwoman's lollipop head, the effervescent new Nancy Drew, young Pennyworth, and more.
