Joel Murphy and Lars Periwinkle talk about WandaVision (in a very non-spoilery fashion) and how impressed they are with Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany and, specifically, Kathryn Hahn. This, unsurprisingly, leads to a larger conversation on how underrated and great Hahn is (and how everyone should watch Mrs. Fletcher).

This week, Joel Murphy and Lars Periwinkle are joined by an old friend ... Sara Carson.

Speaking of old, Joel, Lars and Sara discuss the various ways they have shunned modern technology and embraced a more analog lifestyle; including buying records and DVDs in 2023, avoiding setting up Threads accounts and using social media only to track food trucks.

And, for added measure, Lars tells how he threw his back out in the most unremarkable way.
