Summary

Some maniac got the idea to throw a bunch of British adults (and one Irish adult) into a fake American high school set and make them date each other in the manner of teen movie characters; some other maniacs decided to discuss this brand-new offering from Amazon Prime Video on this podcast, and we've brought back Brandi Brown to join us! Around The Dial takes us through Hacks, New Scandinavian Cooking, and Naked City. Tara pitches the Shrill episode "WAHAM" for induction into the Canon. Then after naming the week's Winner and Loser, it's on to a Game Time that will have you under its spell. The bell is ringing, so find a seat in homeroom and join us for our latest podcast!
