    Dec 21 2025

    Ryan and Mike are back, this time talking about SNL's 2025 Christmas episode. When the week started, it was all about the excitement of Ariana Grande returning to host. By the end, it was a bittersweet and unexpected goodbye to Bowen Yang.

    For this one, we're joined by a special guest: Bill Kuchman. Bill writes about pop culture (including SNL) over at his newsletter The Omnicosm. Be sure to check out his thoughts on this week's episode and the larger pop-culture universe there!

    As a reminder: You can still subscribe to our $5 tier on Patreon, where we will still be doing period non-SNL content for paid subscribers. We will be posting several episodes during the holiday break there first, and Ryan has also started writing some SNL pieces for Patreons as well.

    Check It Out: "The Sure Thing" and A Look Back At Rob Reiner's Career
    Dec 18 2025

    With the tragic news about the recent deaths of both Rob Reiner and his wife, we wanted to take some time to talk about his career in general and one movie in particular. It's not a movie many mention when talking about his career, and it may not be one many of you have even seen. But it's worth both a watch and a discussion all the same.
