- 37:32House of Cards season 6 ends with the First Lady murdering the president.
- 37:57The show kills off multiple characters including Kathy Durrant twice, Jane, and Tom Hammerschmidt.
- 38:46Tim argues the season was justified because having a woman in charge would be a good thing, though he admits it was poorly executed.
- 39:17The final season plays like Lady Ghostbusters—written like a Reddit thread or 4chan post with unrealistic conspiracies where everyone gets killed constantly.
- 39:50Tim points out that real conspiracies don't involve constantly killing people, despite what people believed in the sixties.
- 40:12Comedian Jeffrey Joseph made a joke about Robin Wright claiming she never really knew Kevin Spacey—saying she literally became her character from the show.
- 40:40In season six, Wright's character says she doesn't know if America knew Francis or if she ever did either, mirroring her real-life denial about Spacey.
