The show goes extra long, and that's without so much of what didn't make the cut. That's us: saving you from banality, but also pointing out the glory of Dave Stewart, the unblemished.

This week, Josh Flanagan cracks Vietnam-era writer psychology wide open, while Conor Kilpatrick fails a Star Wars test… or does he? What he definitely does is totally lose his mental facilities by the end of the show. Los Angeles wasn’t built for this kind of prolonged heat! Finally, it’s important to note that despite what these Two Jamokes say on the show, Ravage is a cat and not a dog. But the joke is funny and they stand by it.
