Amidst the insanity of the world, Nick and Julie use this platform to focus on the important things: identifying bangable CNN anchors, lusting for Lupin (now on Netflix), and diving into the current overindulgence of drag race - both US season 13 and introducing UK season 2. We wrap things up with a sibling battle in the form of a drag race themed quiz show.

Show Notes:

2:00 - Hot takes on Nick as a brother, Lupin, and The Flight Attendant

We’ve got an extended episode to keep you company on your holiday errands. A lot of happy nonsense this week with the anticipation of Nick’s impending brain scan, New Girl, the songs and artists of Nick’s year (according to Spotify), that crazy lady’s testimony, and holiday movies and traditions. Come hang out! We’ll be taking a short break, we hope you have warm, safe holidays and we’ll see you in 2021!

Nick and Julie wade into The Crown in blasphemous order, but with opinions nonetheless. Nick also found himself three seasons through New Girl in less than a week and Julie's interest has been sparked by the new Netflix series Voices of Fire.

Left to their own devices this week, Julie watched Emily in Paris, Working Girl, Emma, Mansfield Park and Drag Race Thailand Season 2 and Nick ordered a lot of cozies (not on Amazon) and has downloaded several pastoral gay movies that he’ll be watching... any day now. And now we’re going to watch season 4 of The Crown :) - you can’t stand us? We don’t blame you

This episode features all of our coping mechanisms for the fear and anticipation of election decisions - remember that week? We’ve got The West Wing, Leslie Jones, still more NXIVM cult and the finale of Drag Race Holland - Dutch exclamation point!
