Hola, Sneakers! Welcome to our 406th attempt to do a podcast!

This week: Interrupting cat; unfinished comics; poor dinosaurs; direct to sequel; horrifying shorts; too famous; “imteresting” leading men; perfect timing; meaningful nicknames; bank robber; Dirty Harry Minute; nauseating video calls; phone-a-phobia; phone scams; win-a-car scam; old enough for circuses; ye olde clowne; regional kiddie shows; unspoken agreements; Rankin-Bass Tolkein; impossibly high self-esteem; Ian meets jocks; getting in people’s way; too aware; people are angry; feeling ignored; self-reality; fine; craving anonymity; clubland; self-conscious dancing; and, finally, the genie is out of the bottle.
