“The election is a week from tomorrow, thank God,” says Sarah, speaking for the rest of us, feeling as though we are Danny in The Shining and the candidates are the twins…

We take a break from political news (well, kind of) to talk about two recent TV distractions: Anatomy of Lies, a three-part docuseries about the bundle of fraudulence that was Grey’s Anatomy writer Elisabeth Finch, and Woman of the Hour, a tense Netflix drama directed by and starring Anna Kendrick and based on the real-life story of a serial killer contestant on The Dating Game.

Also discussed:

* Tony Hinchcliffe’s very bad joke

* Nancy wants the media to use more precise language

* Joe Rogan podcast: Trump has logorrhea

* Be careful what you say in the supermarket …

* Andie MacDowell and the afterlife

* A side effect of knee surgery replacement is … obsessive lying?

* What with all the serial killers?

* Should we watch the Menendez Brothers documentary?

Plus, Sarah can’t go anywhere without being recognized, Nancy has a question about crossing over, a very enthusiastic hot box recommendation, and much more!
