Summary
Podcaster and Lifetime-movie-ologist Brandon is going deep on not just Ruthless Realtor (we would give you a plot summary, but it's...that, with a dash of Bad Ronald) but the evolution of Lifetime movies and the cultural anxieties they reflect; whether we'd ghost a weirdo who brought us a brisket; and why nobody seems to get a second take, or any direction. Then we staged an Around The Dial with stops at Love In The Time Of Corona, vintage Amazing Race, and Below Deck Med before Doug made an animated Canon case for Avatar: The Last Airbender's Empire Strikes Back episode. Dan Mallory won, Drunk History lost, and you won't believe who got re-cast at the pilot stage during Game Time. Don't change those locks: it's an all-new Extra Hot Great.

| 1:05.2 | Here is the premise, in a nutshell. Ralph and Annie Savage, played by a couple of nobodies, unlike on a Hallmark |
| 1:11.8 | movie, these are nobody you've ever seen before, are on vacation when Ralph spots a realtor |
| 1:18.5 | putting up an open house sign in front of an absurdly gigantic house and convinces Annie |
| 1:23.9 | they should look at it. They're not put off by the realtor Meg, played by |
| 1:28.4 | another nobody, and her awkward oversharing about her loneliness. And they buy the place, which we |
| 1:34.1 | learn is close enough to L.A. where they formerly live, that Annie can still commute. So cool |
| 1:39.0 | vacation. But anyway, they move in. Meg keeps coming around, creeping them out with her general weirdness |
| 1:45.1 | even before she hits on Ralph. So when they get a prowler, they're pretty sure it's Meg. But is it? |
| 1:52.8 | Brandon. I had been following you on Twitter for a while before I noticed you tweeting about |
