Summary

So, Daniel and Jack recorded a bonus episode on 1998's Primary Colors (the Mike Nichols movie, written by Elaine May, starring John Travolta and Emma Thompson, based on the originally Anonymous roman-à-clef about the 1992 Bill Clinton primary campaign) for their Patreon contributors... and, as the discussion ranged widely, it somehow turned into something they wanted to release on the main feed.

everybody, especially given the fact that as I sat down to edit it, the news came through

0:28.0

that the Supreme Court in the United States had struck down Roe v. Wade.
