 Malcolm really does the heavy lifting and helps Caitlin in her struggle to summarize the hits-really-close-to-home-for-her Netflix show, Maniac. Matt has a paranoid schizophrenic conspiracy theory about the whole world of the show and Caitlin loves Justin Theroux and this world so much she can barely form a thought about it. But in the end everyone says, watch this show,  it's great! I'm a hawk! Remember to rate and review us on iTunes.

In which: We discuss giant celestial moon mirrors, demons, puzzle boxes, and why you should care about shadows. Note: The audio at the very beginning and then also Matt's audio sucks on this episode and you may need to turn up your volume, I apologize for his sound quality.
