In this very special bonus episode, we turn to the contemporary masterpiece (ahem) Schmigadoon! - Apple TV's 2021 spoof/homage to the great musicals of yore.
UPDATE: This episode has been endorsed by show creator Cinco Paul, because we're really very famous.

We talk about:
- Mormons: The show’s creators, Cinco Paul & Ken Daurio, and their origins in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
- Marriage: The "marriage trope" – does the show uphold it or undermine it (or both)?
