Episode notes

For me, the toxic man that I most relate to is probably all male Aaron Sorkin characters. This is particularly true by the most recent of his TV shows, The Newsroom. John Lennon might still be my favorite beetle musically, but also maybe your least favorite beetle personally abandoned multiple wives and children over the course of his 40-year life.

This week’s episode is our recent live show crossover event with Appointment Television at Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio. The Appointment Television and Overdue crews gather together to discuss the recent TV adaptation and compare it to the book from which it (and the film, and the ill-starred musical) sprung. Whether we figure out the relative superiority of books or TV as competing artistic formats is left up to the listener.
