First of all, fuck the Republicans and their tax bill. That’s not what this episode is about; I just needed to say it. What this episode IS about is: Dee Snider. Sort of. For a little bit. Also Christmas songs: they should all be heavy metal’ed. Then we talk about Ernie Cline’s little tome, Ready Player One. And then Steve Sissou. Not sure if that’s how you spell his name, but I’m not much of a typer anyway so it doesn’t matter.
