Comedians write and perform their own versions of movies that never got made.
Our editor, Josh Wilson, joins us in front of the mics to talk Don't Think Twice (2016). This one took on a different tone from our usual fare and we ended up talking a fair bit about improv/comedy philosophy, and what the industry will look like post-pandemic. We still made sequels, one that basically corrects where the first one went astray, one that magnifies the original, and one that shows what really happened next!

It's Chris' birthday and to celebrate, he wanted to tackle Columbo! We welcome back Leo Obregon (Waffle Junkies) and change format slightly.

Oh boy, In an incredible crossover with Jenna Kuerzi (Depp Impact), we tackle Finding Neverland (2004).

Don't miss this super silly episode featuring: Discipline, Talking Dogs, and Benches!
