The Good Sisters (nice nickname from our Facebook group!) are all over the place in this episode, from nostalgia for the easy friendships of the quartet in Season 1, to details about Brianna's Mon Mothmarathon. Bonus: we now have outro music!

And what rough podcast, its hour come round at last,

Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

It's the sisters' first hiatus episode, and we're revisiting the pilot episode! Isn't it poignant to see Chidi so happy, before the crushing weights of Eleanor's secrets and Michael's duplicity came crashing down on him? More importantly, did Marissa catch a continuity error involving Ariana Grande??

Sorry about the week off, ding-dongs! Brianna was stuck in the Bad Place. Now that she's taken the train back to her normal existence, we can discuss the strange sweetness of Jason/Tahani, the heartbreaking sunken 'ship of Chidi/Eleanor, and the windchime-penis-festooned oddity of Janet/Derek.

ZOOUUUUUUUKS! Can Janet create a person? SHOULD Janet create a person? Is the answer different if she creates Zouks?? Also, the sisters have got another installment in the Megan Amram Appreciation Corner (a.k.a. "Amramica the Beautiful").

Strap in for the goriest -- and maybe funniest -- episode of Season 2 of "The Good Place." Brianna thinks the entire show is one big trolley problem. Marissa is offended on behalf of the fictional character Jean Valjean. Both sisters agree that Ted Danson is acting the heck out of his character in this one.

SHIPPER WARS REDUX! Plus, would you rather be snuffed out like a candle, or eternally tortured? This is but one of the cheery questions raised by Michael's existential crisis!

There's plenty to talk about inside this bottle episode! How good can the real Good Place really be? Is Vicky dropping the ball, or crazy like a fox? And is this universe more like the CW's Supernatural, or more like the classic poem Paradise Lost? (Note 10/11/17: restored last 6 minutes of episode.)

SO IT'S TO BE SHIPPER WARS, EH?? Also, how long has The Quartet been stuck in the Bad Place? And we celebrate the best puns of Megan Amram.

"The Good Place" is back for a second season! Brianna and Marissa discuss the hour-long premiere. Topics: Is Michael unraveling? Does Janet have memories of last season? Is the goodest Good Place the one that's just Marissa, Chidi, and a library full of books?
