Summary

Way way back in the early aughties, we all adored Clone High, an animated satire of Dawson's Creek and its ilk that featured wall-to-wall gags and catchphrases your regular panelists -- and esteemed guest John -- still use to this day. Naturally, we welcomed news of a decades-later second season...but does the show still have the same deranged energy, or is it too careful? We talked about how long it dwells on cancel culture (...sigh), who's the best new clone (and who's our most beloved returning character), and whether this version is getting renewed (spoiler: doubt it). Then we went Around The Dial with Primo, a last-minute Tiny Triumph, Mrs. Davis, and Happy Valley before Tara tried to pile-drive another episode of Glow into the Canon. Jason Momoa won, SVU's casting department lost, and DJ Farnsworth mixed everyone up with a theme-song mash-up Game Time. Try not to burn yourself on an all-new Extra Hot Great!
