A wandering discussion covering drag queen story hour controversies, whether libraries are pointless, plugging Israel/Ukraine funding jokes, and reviewing recent TV shows including Velma, Tulsa King, Euphoria, and Wednesday.
- Tim pitches a Bayou-themed attraction narrated by Katt Williams, replacing the old Splash Mountain with Paul Mooney clips.
- Mindy Kaling's Velma HBO series is mentally ill and bad, using Scooby-Doo characters nobody cares about.
- The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power made a billion dollars centering a character who was never supposed to be the focal point.
- Tim recommends Tulsa King on Paramount Plus, praising creator Taylor Sheridan's ability to make straightforward entertainment.
- Andor on Disney Plus tries to say something about colonialism and gets dense, whereas Tulsa King lets you know exactly what's happening.
- Euphoria features hot teenagers playing hot teenagers, all fucked up and on junk, representing American teenage life.
- Wednesday on Netflix is silly and copied Harry Potter, but as a silly show goes, it's not bad because Jenna Ortega is insanely good.
- The Trump years were bad for TV because nobody knew what to say or do, everyone trying to use their platform to fight fascism.
- Get Out came out in 2017 and was good; Uncut Gems was fucking amazing during the Trump administration.
