This week the HBO show does some world building based on a throwaway concept from the original comic book as we see Angela's childhood in the 51st state, Vietnam. In the present day there's an elephant in the room and Laurie learns the bad guy plan and then someone gets a hammer to the forehead. Multiple times. 

Before that we discuss the Netflix show Dark Tourist, when a phone call is better than texting, who Scarlett Johansson might play in The Batman Part II and whether Weird Al is racist against Italians. If you don't care about any of that skip to 1:05:52.

Want your questions answered on the show? Send an email to [email protected] and ask away, and ask about pretty much anything at all. Make sure your subect line contains the name of the show on which you want your question answered. One question per email, please, but feel free to send in multiple emails!

Listen to our four hour extravaganza about The Last Jedi, available only to those at the $7 and above levels. It's a real discussion, no culture war BS and no acrimony towards those who don't like it!
