from Millennial: Pretend Adulting, Real Talk · host Laura Tee, Pamela Gocobachi
On this week's #Millennial, Micah is back, Nicholas Cage is "back," and a new Twilight book is coming out. What year is it?! At the top of the show, we address the latest in Tara Reade's sexual assault allegations against presumptive Democratic nominee for President, Joe Biden. What do we make of Reade's allegations, and has Joe Biden handled this well? (Spoiler: No.) The latest projections for for COVID-19 infections and deaths finally freak Andrew out, and our entire panel is slated to stay home through the summer. Why is the U.S. a COVID-19 hotspot? Because we're a hot mess. Period. Since Laura has been forced to break quarantine due to her home disaster, we share some listener stories about the circumstances outside our control that force our hands on quarantine. The soon-to-be bankrupt AMC is fighting with Universal Studios over... trolls? Really? Now? How could move theaters have better prepared for the very clear direction at-home streaming is taking us culturally? This week's recommendations are some binge-worthy shows and a fun social distancing game: Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert's nightly monologues (Andrew), Good Omens (Laura), Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist (Pam), and "Psych!" by Ellen Degeneres.
