In this episode, the two Matts forgo a skit in line with the episode's theme, organize the whole thing a little differently in line with the episode's theme, do the "What We Have Ripped Off" segment separately in line with the episode's theme, and talk about monologues or one-character shows, in line with the episode's theme. What are the benefits to having only one character in a scene or a whole show? What should writers avoid when doing these? How much of the writer's personal beliefs should the monologue inject, or how little? How many times can Matt Donald fit "in line with the episode's theme" into the episode description? We discuss it all, starting off solo in line with the episode's theme, and talk about the Anno Domini video games, Ultraman, Dirk Pitt novels, and Atlas Shrugged for some reason. Oh wait, because there's a big filibuster in the middle of that book that functions like a monologue! So of course we bring it up...in line with the episode's theme.
