The Skewer 21: August 2017

As ever, The Skewer owns. Who could ever doubt? Hosted by Tom Harrison, this edition features Kevin Johnson debuting a new fake-news-identifying game. Carrie Cook explained why today's hell world has poisoned the sweet relief of escapist TV. Tom Wisdom shared the arcane, eldritch horrors Jared Kushner left off his disclosure forms. Archy Arch J showed us that the GOP can give the devil head without making a deal with him. And Megan Kirby showed us how we can cope with the incipient apocalypse with today's pop hits. In the Skewer debate Jane Harrison squared off against Elaine Phillips to decide what pop culture property needs to be rebooted to infuriate dumb online men: Infinite Jest or Game of Thrones? I mean, the answer is both, but we have to debate anyway.
