About this episode
The episode discusses the end of a cultural era and the denial surrounding it, continuing from a previous episode.
On this episode Trevor, Ken and Mario continue the conversation started in CS 650: Gone Platinum. The party is officially over, and there are some factions who are unwilling to let it go. Living vicariously thru live streamers, not admitting when your leader lost, the Sharks chomp into all the false pretenses that make up our current popular culture.
