When we last heard from Night Vale in December, Cecil was being held hostage by a strange boy with a large knife, and this week’s episode picks up right where we left off. It’s another Brie Williams story so you know there’s going to be delightful lists of really weird things. Knives! Trapper Keepers! Field Trip Carnage! Blood Drive cleanup! Door Dash delivery delayed on account of tar and feathers! AND MORE KNIVES DON’T FORGET ABOUT THE KNIVES.
After the recap Kathryn gives the thumbs up to Oppenheimer, which doesn’t need an IMAX viewing because it’s a great movie that’s going to win a bunch of awards, but aside from the bit with the bomb (…spoilers?..) it is mostly Very Dramatic Scenes of People Talking, so regular screens are fine.

The podcast Elizabeth mentioned is the 90-Minute Film Fest, celebrating movies under an hour and a half long.
Regarding the little outtake clip at the end, Elizabeth was referring to a couple of Supernatural-related podcast episodes she found: we were never huge fans of Supernatural, so we thought the finale was more silly than anything else. But Elizabeth stumbled on an episode of The Fangirl Business: A Supernatural Podcast, and it really sheds light on how traumatized some of the long-time fans were by the finale. (And for some lighter listening, one of their more recent episodes is about how much they enjoyed the season 1 finale of The Winchesters, which seems to have taken some of the sting out of the Supernatural finale.)
