Today we're discussing 2.02 Cardinal with another returning guest, Larissa! Oleg invents feminism, Philip gets electrocuted, and Elizabeth won't stop staring at people from her front lawn. Stay for random side rants about completely unrelated tv shows and the answer to whether or not Tori will finally watch The Leftovers.
And sorry for the long break in between episodes! Life gets in the way and Tori had to put her dog down (depression mode). This one goes out to sweet Lola.

Sidenote: Garageband stopped recording Tori’s mic audio so we had to use the mic feed from the Zoom session. Not the quality we would like, but it’ll have to do for this week.
