Jamison and Blake are broadcasting live from the ruins of the Hellmouth formerly known as Twitter as we try to raise the morale and liven the place up a bit with a delightful discussion of 2003's Peyton Reed-helmed Down With Love. We dig into why this film works both as a modern homage to the old Doris Day/Rock Hudson sex comedies of the 60s and simultaneously works as a smart and incisive critique of those films' rather seedy underbellies. Also discussed: how Elon Musk is changing the shape of social media as we all know it, what mathematics and sexual inuendo have in common, and we end the broadcast with a spontaneous and touching rendition of the classic "Let It Be." So join us for this wonderfully joyful conversation.
