Election 2016! I mean, we couldn’t *not* talk about it, right? Much as that probably would’ve been for the best. Is this the worst thing that could’ve happened? Who’s to blame, besides everyone? How do we cope with President Trump? This week’s guests include comedians Matt Lieb and Joe Sinclitico. Joe and I both saw Arrival, and offer our no-spoilers reviews. We also try to break down the multiple timelines theory of Westworld, rip on Aaron Sorkin, answer your emails, and of course, Crystal Corner, the segment about people who’ve so embraced the post-fact world that they literally believe in magic rocks. They don’t seem so crazy now, do they? Enjoy, and Frot on.
