Excellent episode, as ever! However, it is my sad duty to announce that Abe has been misinformed by something even more cursed and Anglo-coded than sexual repression: bad journalism. Basically, the innuendo in Captain Pugwash was all urban myth and rumour, that then later got published by the Guardian. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/captain-pugwash-double-meanings/

I saw this in theaters without knowing it was a jukebox musical and was quickly confused.

I saw a picture of Baz Luhrmann and immediately thought he just looks like Nice Karl Lagerfield

I honestly enjoyed Wild Wild West as a kid however terrible it was. Honestly the giant mechanical spider didn't detract from the film for me. What did was the clunky writing and by the numbers cinematography.

So glad y’all found those lost songs. Now I understand the Duke

I will always appreciate y'all for your insights and your thoughtful diligence in highlighting the war crimes committed by Avril Lavigne
