Michael Swaim and Abe Epperson sat down and watched the 7 episodes of the limited series I'm A Virgo, directed by Boots Riley. While the story is about a teen sheltered from the world due to his largeness, it becomes a social commentary about growing up Black in America along with the effects of capitalism on American communities. We talk about the impressive technical feats and filmmaking as well as the themes on display by Riley and co.

Our three co-hosts are stuck in the multiverse and need to get back to their home universe. Clearly, the only way to do that is to explore our cultural obsession with multiverses, alternate timelines and parallel worlds, and tie it all into a conversation about post-modern art, pop culture, and the lessons these stories teach us. Also, each episode, one of them is an asshole who will probably sabotage the whole thing. This week we discuss 1993's Groundhog Day!
