"Wine, awkward silences, and Borat impressions—this mini-episode might have it all."

Episode Description

Join Landen and Truman for a playful recap of Hope Springs (2012) in this mini-episode, where serious therapy sessions give way to banana-related metaphors and theater proprietor grudges. They examine the bizarre Twin Peaks-esque undertones of small-town life, the perils of bringing your therapist’s advice to the movies, and why the trailer game is their favorite thing ever—even when they get it wrong.
