The Big Boys (RHINOCEROS BEETLE/STAG BEETLE)
10/03/22 • 75 min
Content Warning for this episode: There is a story about the loss of a pet and brief mention of suicide from minutes 9-14.
In this episode, Amanda flexes her art history degree and Kelly adds another item to her shopping list. An example of remarkable behavioral convergence and sexual dimorphism gives us a double episode of big boy beetles with feudal stylings.

Previous Episode
A Friendly Neighborhood Hero (Marvel’s SPIDER-MAN)
Respect the hyphen! This episode is all about Peter Parker and how his powers compare to actual spiders. Is Spider-man amazing or simply spectacular? Is Tom Holland the best Spider-man yet? Where did Peter get his sick dance moves? Does the MCU need more dancing??? We have a lot of thoughts about these things.
