Andrew and James welcome Woody for a year-in-review that reviews almost none of the year. They cover sequels that beat the original, whether the British ever had a Wild West, and the mortality statistics for single men. Then things get personal. James unknowingly gave Andrew jelly beans from a Bean Boozled box. What follows is a reckoning, a resentment, and an on-mic jelly bean revenge arc that ends with someone dangerously close to vomiting.

Also discussed: the Wizard of Oz's entire cast as a personality framework, Darth Maul's underrated villain energy, a time-travel business model that is morally indefensible.

It's a year in review where almost no year gets reviewed. Exactly as intended.
