OKA46 - Bad Education, Election Dumpster Fire, The Mighty Ducks!

Happy Wednesday everyone!

We're coming to you today to talk about three things!

  • HBO's latest tragicomedy, Bad Education, starring Hugh Jackman and Allison Janney.

  • Did you hear there's an election coming up? Madd and I muster up some thoughts on the current election climate and what is potentially to come. Brace yourselves for dark clouds and our cat fucking up the segment too...

  • Also, in these horrific times, it's nice to look back on something that made us smile. So we're talking about The Might Ducks and how it was one of the greatest repressed memories of my childhood, and our hope to make regular viewings of this gem a new tradition.

Much love,
