Summary
This week on Text Me Back!, all-star championship hosts, Lindy West and Meagan Hatcher-Mays debate a teeny tiny selection of historical battles--from the cinema to the sea. That's right it's the versus, verzuz? episode. First up, a journey across time for the best congressional duels. Then, we settle an age-old question: Which is the best "Pride and Prejudice" adaptation? And, put down the Seattle pride and tell it like it is — are orcas or humpbacks the true king of the seas?
