Carley and Blair jump forward in time to review two stageplays related to the Salem witch trials: Arthur Miller's 1952 McCarthyism allegory The Crucible, and Kimberly Belflower's 21st-century response, John Proctor is the Villain. Plus, a mini-episode on the Red Scare!

Also, Carley was on The Social, aka Canada's version of The View.

Also: being a small town's mysterious outsider, nice Karens, impressing your childhood self, compliments from older generations, comparisons to celebrities, John Proctor is a Mary Sue, John Proctor is a bad husband, John Proctor is a bad father, 60’s liberalism being outdated, the baseball song from Falsettos, Marilyn Monroe, hot old men, the Japanese Army being too good, whether to trust toilet paper, Zoe Kazan’s grandfather, your fave is problematic, and communist eating habits.
