Nick and Lottie continue their obsession with I Think You Should Leave, a sketch comedy show on Netflix. We discuss some of our favourite sketches from series 1 and 2, creating and/or listening to political versus apolitical podcasts and some of our contributions to the ITYSL fandom. Lottie’s memes cover pinkwashing (specifically corporate co-opting of queer movements) and Nick’s are on Duolingo – see here and here. If you haven’t heard it yet, you can check out our last episode ‘What is this Reggie? The Politics of I Think You Should Leave’, which is climbing up the “global comedy chart”!
The sketches we discuss are piece of shit (our combined favourite series 2 sketch), photocopier (one of our biggest agreements in our series 1 rankings, Nick loves this one, Lottie not so much) and Laser Spine Specialists (our combined favourite series 1 sketch).
