In the season finale, the script is flipped and usual host Murphy Kenefick comes on as the guest to argue that there is never an excuse not to respond to a text within 24 hours. First ever guest Patrick Fretwell fills in as host and combats Murphy on his ostentatious claim. Will Murphy live up to the high standards he sets for his guests when he has to be the guest himself? Or will he just end up telling on himself and alienate people even further? Listen to his argument and then a litany of hot takes as the season comes to a close. 

Objection: Argumentative! will return...eventually...

"Agnosticism is objectively the best belief system for people to have."

Science teacher Mr. (Mike) Hudson comes on the show to argue for the pros of agnosticism and Murphy does his best to poke holes in his theory without rattling too many cages. Listen as Murphy rejoices at having a real adult on for the first time and eventually defends his bad driving opinion. 

"Movie studios should invest in and create just as much in other genres to balance out the action franchises."

Film camp alumni Claire Dobbs comes on to argue that studios should steer away from violence in movies and invest heavily in things like rom-coms for the betterment of Hollywood at large. Murphy is highly skeptical and pokes holes in the practicalities and necessity of it all. Listen to them fight and talk over each other!

"There is objective truth and no such thing as 'my truth'"

Top Five member Brooks Busby comes on to argue the existence of objectivity and that one's personal declaration of "my truth" should not be validated. Murphy pokes some holes in that and then complains about his new big grammar pet peeve. 

“Psychedelic drugs have high potential for therapeutic use”

Top Five Member and Pharmacology PhD student (Mary) Frances Vest comes on to argue that psychedelic drugs have far more benefits than detriments. Murphy is very skeptical and does his best to argue about drugs with a drug student. 

Gen Z Film Major Josh Philips comes on to argue that Gen Z is going to ruin art as we know it. Murphy finds this hard to believe.

"Film Twitter is a toxic cesspool."

Podcast superstar Adam Sirdoreus comes on to argue that...film twitter is bad? Murphy tries his best to argue against such an inherently true statement. 

"Anyone should be cast as any role, regardless of the actors' sexuality/gender identity."

Top Five Member Julia Warren comes on to argue that not all LGBTQ+ roles should have to be played by LGBTQ+ actors. Murphy argues that this should not be the case.

"Movies' significance can come from something contrary to the dominant opinion, often something the filmmaker didn't even intend "

Former roommate and film studies major Cedric Bobro comes on the show to argue that movies can be read in unconventional ways based on elements below the surface, regardless of the filmmaker's intent. Murphy argues that Cedric's methods are absurd.

"It's all the media's fault"

News media enthusiast Patrick Fretwell comes on the show to argue that the media isn't responsible for the political and social divide in this country. Murphy begs to differ.
