Show Notes


Episode Intro and Announcements: Mo is out on vacation. We have a special guest Jake Drew. New show feature for listeners to make their voices heard.


Background: Jake chose this episode because he binged it and loved it.


60 Sec Summary:  James thinks he is a psychopath because he doesn’t understand jokes and kills animals for a hobby. Alyssa is fed up with life and people so she reaches out to James hoping to escape. The two start dating because James wants to kill Alyssa, and Alyssa wants to run away. The show ends with the two 17 year olds running away after James accomplishes a life long dream of punching his dad in the face.


High Points: So many! Jake loved the cinematography most. Jimbo loved the humor. Drew, of course loved the showing, not telling. The narration, dialogue, acting and music were all highs too.


Low Points: Jake and Jimbo were lowless. Drew didn’t like the mom, Tony, and Alyssa storyline.


Crabman Award: James’ mother by split decision, Orange hat lady was a honorable mention.


MVPs: Alyssa, the execution/directing, and internal monologues.


Dangling Threads of Interest: Dexter; me too/ mum and daughter dynamic, British seasons/series vs. American seasons.


Watch or Rewatch: Hella watch/rewatch!


To Hoist or Not to Hoist?: very strong hella not hoist.
