"So, you accidentally leaked your nudes online." Even Captain America goofs up on the internet sometimes, so don't feel bad about the last drunk text you sent your ex.

  • Welcome back, Micah!
  • Along with the coronavirus pandemic has come a pandemic of cracked teeth. Learn to recognize the signs of teeth grinding and work with your dentist to get a mouthguard!

  • Andrew has signed up to be tracked... by Nevada's contact tracing app.
  • While there may be strides in smarter mask development, AstraZeneca's coronavirus vaccine trials have been halted for safety reasons.
  • Bob Woodward's here to show us Trump knew how bad COVID-19 was all along, and he's got the receipts too.

  • The Academy is rolling out new inclusion standards for films to meet in order to qualify for Oscar's submission. We take a look and discuss whether these criteria are meaningful or just for show.
  • FMK(ancel) returns with a slight re-brand, and apparently everyone wants to do the dirty with Dr. Fauci.
