Today is a holiday in IIJJ Land, and we want to celebrate with you!

Seabirds are dying and voting rights are being trampled but the five million women running for office are going to fix all of that. The really important question is: which character from The Good Place is most likely to tell you to read Infinite Jest? (Look out for The Good Place spoilers!) All this plus what we think Infinite Jest is about this week. Robin Wright, if you're listening, we have your post-House of Cards project in development.

Caitlin and Jenny started out this week with every intention of reporting live from the Women's March and reflecting on the past year. But people on the internet were wrong about things and needed to be corrected! So this podcast is dedicated to a brave young woman we know as Grace. It's another serious one, folks. Why do male comedians make it impossible to be funny?

In Caitlin and Jenny's version of The Little Mermaid, Ursula snaps some sense into Ariel, Ariel restores the heart of Te Fiti, and #timesup for King Triton, who could learn a thing or two from President Winfrey about leadership.

Happy New Year! Caitlin and Jenny hope your 2018 is full of vengeance and self-care. And reading anything but Infinite Jest.

We're taking next week off so enjoy a special extra-long Wookie Life Day episode of Infinite Infinite Jest Jest!

THERE ARE SO MANY SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE LAST JEDI YET YOU DO NOT HAVE TIME FOR PODCASTS GET YE TO A CINEPLEX RIGHT NOW BUT MAYBE NOT ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE FOR THIS PARTICULAR MOVIE BECAUSE THEY DELIVER CHECKS AT BAD TIMES ALSO WRITE TO US AND LET US KNOW WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT LAURA DERN WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT LAURA DERN ALL DAY.

Caitlin and Jenny decided they hadn't pissed off enough nerdy fanboys with a podcast dedicated to their refusal to read Infinite Jest, so here's an attempt to knock down those remaining pins with a feminist analysis of the new Star Wars movie, The Last Jedi. Caitlin and Jenny love any movie that ruins your childhood if your childhood took place in a patriarchy.

Join Jenny and Caitlin for an Infinite Jest bar mitzvah, Morgan Spurlock's super-sized non-apology apology, and yep, you guessed it, more complaining about Al Franken.

Double apologies! A file that didn't make sense with the title was initially here, so if you already listened to this episode the only new content here is from about minute 26 to minute 38. Also....

Sorry we are a little late this week; we were tardy due to illness. Topics include TIME's person of the year, Gilmore Girls, and our newest feature: Flake Check.

Send healing thoughts right at Jenny's immune system, and we'll see you next week!

This week, Caitlin and Jenny play the most dangerous game, install Lauer door-locking devices in their offices, and unpack a Matryoshka doll of conspiracy theories. Also, they kinda might commit slander all over a beloved childhood icon? You decide.

Al Franken has made Jenny and Caitlin angry. And you don't want to see Jenny and Caitlin angry -- they make charts. A discussion of the comedian-turned-senator resulted in our least funny episode to date, but join us as we muddle through our feelings on dick pics, locker room talk, and male enlightenment in an age where our heroes turn out to be not so heroic.

Male feminists, come get ya boy. And listen up, 'cause we've got some feedback for you too.
