In the fourth installment in their retro series, Allison and Roman go back 50 years to Bolgiano's Spring 1970 catalog, nostalgize on tiny V8 juice cans, jello-molds and all things 70s, and encounter some of Burpee's most grotesque, meat-centric copy yet.

Suffering from post-election hangovers, Allison and Roman take solace in the expansive Richters 2020 Herb and Vegetable Catalog, explore the whimsical creations of mint guru/oracle Jim Westerfield, discuss to what extent various hot peppers resemble their bizarre namesakes, and aggressively insist that Cal Cunningham return Allison's $25 campaign contribution.

Allison and Roman finally give Strictly Medicinal the loving treatment it deserves with its hot-off-the-presses 2021 catalog. They discuss how medicinal herbs can tonify your kidneys, balance your humors, and cure smallpox(!?), pop open a delicious bottle of corn juice, and luxuriate in an all-time-great Squirting Cucumber seed description.
