Chris and Jenna introduce a new segment called "Am I the A**hole: Rhode Island Edition" Nathan also opens up about channeling his grief after his mother's passing into creating the poignant short film Til I Rot. In this film, a dreamer awakens to find himself caged by a familiar yet malevolent presence, forced to face the darkest corners of his mind to find freedom—or perhaps the solace of death.
