This week on the show, we watched Revenge of the Nerds 2, so you don't have to. We also ate just a whole bunch of vegan Nerds candy.

• Corrections: In When Harry Met Sally, the woman in the diner who says, "I'll have what she's having." is Rob Reiners's mom, not Billy Crystals. We also mispronounced the name of Metuchen, New Jersey in a previous episode, and thank you to listener Dianne for writing us with the correct pronunciation.
• The non-vegan red food dye we mentioned is called cochineal (aka  carmine, carminic acid, Natural Red 4, or E120).
• Don't watch Revenge of the Nerds 2, but do watch this clip of the party song, which is a delight.
