Last week's guests Katharyn Henson and Melissa Diaz are back and switching roles! This time we talk about Freddy Krueger and all things teen horror with as Katharyn has never seen A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors and Melissa is a big fan who can't wait to talk about Freddy.  That is until Jeena derails her own show by talking about her lost ability to lucid dream herself into literally flying around and having mundane sex.

On this special episode, Jeena and her guests explore musical geniuses that put out one good album and then left the scene.  Comic Melissa Diaz has never heard any of the indie music bro classic "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea" by Neutral Milk Hotel and fellow comic Katharyn Henson has never heard the entirety of Lauryn Hill's "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill" so they swap favorites and talk it out.  Two artists released classic albums in 1998 and quit, but have very different reputations now. Can female artists gain mystique by walking away from their art like male artists? That's the discussion on this episode of Shweet!

Jeena takes a journey into the tournament of Mortal Kombat, the 1995 film adaptation of the popular video game.  NYC comedian Sarah Hartshorne watches the movie for the first time while fellow NYC comedian Sarah Kennedy acts as the enthusiastic tour guide to the mysterious Outworld, a land where a fighting competition somehow determines the fate of the universe, a woman forcibly gets a bad blowout and a French guy becomes an Asian thunder god.  It's non-toxic masculinity at its best, so GET OVER HERE!
