It's the final music exchange of 2024! Sorry that I'm releasing it on the 1st of January; I had some personal stuff come up on New Year's Eve. So just close your eyes while listening and pretend it's 2024 still. Josh and I discuss Millennium by Backstreet Boys and Remain in Light by Talking Heads. Also I worked on Christmas and the online right is having a meltdown.

Music by Talking Heads, Backstreet Boys, and SHADE08

Against Josiah's will, the subject of Supernatural returns as Finch brings Jackal and Caleb back to discuss Destiel and how the internet is bad. Josiah only allows this coup d'état of his beloved podcast in the spirit of the holiday and because he is incredibly generous to his friends, but has issued an official ban on the topic of Supernatural going forward.

Music by SHADE08

Phil Cozzi joins Josiah to get in the holiday spirit and discuss The Holdovers (2023) and having a bad time around Christmas.

Okay, look. This episode is technically about Naked Lunch (1991), but it's mostly Alien and Josiah having a mental breakdown about the election while listening to Death Grips, and also there's some questions about Rivers Cuomo's sexuality.
