Nick is joined by fellow super-fan Lottie to discuss the sketch comedy show I Think You Should Leave (Netflix). We discuss the politics of the show, focusing on Lefty politics in the fandom, gender and representation. We also cover some of our favourite sketches from Season 2, including Can’t Drive (our biggest disagreement in our rankings), Brian’s Hat (Lottie’s favourite) and Gimme Dat (Nick’s favourite).

The Supreme Court has ruled 6-3 that this is fine. The people your baby sitter hit were kinda like nothing. Like they don’t matter. They weren’t even supposed to be around in the area. Don’t worry about it AT ALL
