On this episode of Angreement, Michelle and Katherine are asking you to *lower your expectations* as they gear up for the 50th episode. They just didn’t bring their A game this week. But they lean heavily on nostalgia, pin their hopes on generation alpha, and read some Roland Barthes. (Plus wrestling and flinging things into space!)
