In the first episode of 2021, hosts Key (he/they) and Gray (he/him) briefly go over some news from the past week and then get right into the thing we have all been waiting for: the music video for Treat People With Kindness!

First, Gray breaks down the timeline of the release (4:16), from when the news was hinted at months ago to where the hosts were when it dropped. Key then recaps the video (13:30), and then both hosts describe their initial reactions (16:40) followed by an in-depth breakdown of the video’s artistic elements (19:44) including casting, costuming, choreography and the dreaded black & white vs color debate. They then analyze the themes of the video (38:31), paying particular attention to how gender is handled and how that relates to the video and song’s commentary on reflecting on the past.

They decide where the TPWK video fits into their personal rankings of all of the Fine Line music videos featuring some very draggable opinions (44:35), and clown maybe more than they’ve ever clowned as they speculate about what they think might be coming next in Harry’s career trajectory (50:30).

Finally they laugh at internet comments in “must get rid of toxic in community” (56:46), this week including the new addition of a comment that’s funny on purpose (1:01:50), and close out the show by chatting about some non-Harry things that have brought them joy over the week (1:02:58).
