Takes All Over The Place

To dwell on the pain of the past or to focus on new and exciting projects, this is the question facing both our intrepid podcast hosts and the iceberg that got hit by the Titanic (brilliantly portrayed by Bowen Yang on SNL). Luckily, there is much to watch and listen to while deciding, including the 2016 Ghostbusters, Drag Race and the latest SNL. Also introducing Julie’s ‘Tweet of the Week!’ and Nick’s “Spontaneous Question Attack.”
