TERRIBLE MEDIA WE LOVE | don't put disrespect on logan lerman's name!

About this episode

The hosts discuss the terrible books, movies, TV, and music that provide emotional support during tough times.

Time for a kiki about the terrible books, movies, TV and music that provide us emotional support in trying times. RiLee loves books with horrible protagonists, Sam has old white lady taste in TV, and we vehemently disagree about Pitbull. SPOILER WARNINGS: Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver - Spoilers for the plot and ending from (08:44) - (09:22). While You Were Sleeping (1995) - Spoilers for the ending from (36:29) - (38:08). For everything else mentioned we vaguely gesture at the premise, but do not spoil endings.
