Sooooo...we recorded the first half of this episode all of the way back in July 2023 and then bided our time for the sequel to be released. We were surprised that The Old Guard 2 was only half a movie, but hey, here we are. If/when The Old Guard 3 is released, we'll do an update.

We're back with another listener request to cover Jack/Eric from Boy Meets World. Yes, it's a fun little ship, but the real question we took away from revisiting this 90's sitcom is: why was the show working so hard to gaslight us into thinking Eric wasn't gorgeous in drag?
