An episode planned before the first one was ever recorded, Diana nervously brings her pick Circle of Friends (1995). A good portion of her history with the movie is being unavailable to watch it during her entire career as a podcaster.

Despite being unfamiliar with the film, Ryan is quick to understand why it had a lasting impact on his wife.

Alluded to and now delivered, Erin Barry is back to talk about Dirty Work (1998). Imagine teenage Erin and Diana walking around high school with their tape recorders saying “Note to self…”. Even though much of this movie does not hold up, they still hold a deep respect for Norm MacDonald’s style of comedy. The rest of the episode consists quoting the movie back and forth. Ridiculous.
Follow Erin @rin_barr on Instagram.
A loser finds success in the revenge-for-hire business. Stars Norm MacDonald, Jack Warden, Artie Lange, Traylor Howard, Don Rickles, Christopher McDonald, Chevy Chase, David Koechner, Rebecca Romijn, Gary Coleman, and uncredited Chris Farley, John Goodman, and Adam Sandler. (from IMDb.com)
