Greetings programs!  Welcome back to our two-episode extravaganza! In this episode we review and discuss Francis Ford Coppola's biggest swing in decades, Megalopolis and Jason Reitman's Saturday Night, a close look at the 90s minutes preceding the first ever broadcast of Saturday Night. We have a ton to say about each so join us!

One note before you do though, that on the heels of our impromptu hiatus, we're headed into an actual hiatus until the new year.  We hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday season, and we'll see you in the new year!
