October 2022: You'll Hate This Book, a Laurel Guarantee


Listen Later

Welcome back to our Fine Podcast Establishment™! It's another doozy of an episode, in which Laurel get carried away, Heather gets very Rita Hayworth, Brittany's a book Smaug, and Matt's looking grizzled. This month Shrek and Cider Sluts Unite, there's a fun (lesbian) twist, and we beg Guillermo DelToro to remake Brigadoon. 

This note could go on forever, so maybe just listen and laugh and act like we wrote it all down? kthxbye.
