We’re comparing two episodes of iconic sitcom and cultural reset, The Golden Girls. We eat a cheesecake and discuss the two Very Special Episodes which track Blanche’s brother’s coming out arch: Scared Straight (S4E10) and Sisters of the Bride (S6E14).

We talk about engaging with media with outdated politics, The Golden Girls as a Socratic circle, and gladiator movies.
