Succession 3.5, "Retired Janitors of Idaho" with Emily VanDerWerff

At the much-anticipated Waystar shareholder meeting, "Retired Janitors of Idaho" finds the cast of Succession in a madcap scramble as they try to salvage a last-minute settlement with Sandy and Stewy while dealing with an incapacitated Logan. Emily VanDerWerff joins the RoyCast to discuss this episode's farcical energy, its visual and narrative form, the show's political themes, Shiv's redpilling, childhood traumas, the prospect of Roy-Wambsgans offspring, and Ken's Sermon on the Marriott. Emily VanDerWerff (Twitter: @emilyvdw) is critic-at-large for Vox and the co-creator of the fiction podcast Arden.
