In this episode, we took a more historical approach by looking at some people who have been cancelled or should've been cancelled throughout history. This time, we explored the reality of Christopher Columbus' expeditions and how awful he truly was, and we felt it was extra relevant with Indigenous Peoples Day happening recently on the 11th. For the second half of the episode, we decided to talk about Marie Antoinette and what she did to end up with her head in a basket.
