Gay Vampires and Sad Ghosts: Immortality in Sitcoms
Does time heal all wounds or just turn everyone a little gay? Should you go to the bad place for watching reality tv? If you were a ghost would you make it your mission to start small scale drama in a marriage? All of these topics and more are covered in this week's episode where Zach and Jessica explore what they for some reason thought would be a light and easy breezy topic: immortality in sitcoms.
Fair warning that this episode does discuss grief, death, and loss. If those are sore spots for you right now then this may not be the best episode.

Join us as Jessica and Zach suit up with their Antifa battle gear to go head to head with sitcom episodes rail against this (mostly) imagined enemy.
