A chaotic show about Anne Baxter, movie villains, and personal nemeses. In this very normal episode, the following questions are asked: is The Sandlot a truly grotesque and despicable movie? Has Austin Butler ever tried a California burrito? What happened to the time capsule Anne Baxter buried? Was everyone wrong about Madame Web? Did I really edit out the name of my crush? All of this and much more!
