We’re comparing two episodes of iconic sitcom and cultural reset, The Golden Girls. We eat a cheesecake and discuss the two Very Special Episodes which track Blanche’s brother’s coming out arch: (S4E10) "Scared Straight" and (S6E14) "Sisters of the Bride."

We talk about engaging with media with outdated politics, The Golden Girls as a Socratic circle, and gladiator movies.
