On episode 280 Nick and Lottie continue their obsession with I Think You Should Leave, a sketch comedy show on Netflix. We discuss some of our favourite sketches from series 1 and 2, creating and/or listening to political versus apolitical podcasts and some of our contributions to the ITYSL fandom. Lotties memes cover pinkwashing (specifically corporate co-opting of queer movements) and Nicks are on Duolingo. The sketches we discuss are piece of shit (our combined favourite series 2 sketch), photocopier (one of our biggest agreements in our series 1 rankings, Nick loves this one, Lottie not so much) and Laser Spine Specialists (our combined favourite series 1 sketch).
