On the heels of our thrillers conversation, Sona and I decide to watch Mare of Easttown together. We both like it (she more than I) but it all adds to an interesting conversation. Plus we have a little legal sidebar on the MyPillow guy and his lawsuits.

Oscar has a blind spot for SoundGarden. In part one we discuss influences and the beginning of grunge and the Seattle scene.
