In this week\'s podcast, Judy and Linda talk about episodes 9 and 10 of\\xa0"Goblin: The Lonely and Great God"\\xa0(\\uc4f8\\uc4f8\\ud558\\uace0 \\ucc2c\\ub780\\ud558\\uc2e0 \\ub3c4\\uae68\\ube44), starring Gong Yoo (aka Dinosaur Face with the nice voice), Kim GoEun and Lee DongWook.

There were many illogical situations posed by these two episodes.

1) Kim Shin (Gong Yoo) tells Euntak (Kim GoEun) to\\xa0pull out the sword and kill him. She refuses and says that if he bothers her again, then she\'ll really kill him.\\xa0Wait, seriously? How are you the highest-ranked student at your school?

2) How did the Library Ghost know to protect the bankbooks? How come she had to stay as a ghost to protect them instead of, you know, Euntak\'s mom?

3) The memory-erasing\\xa0tea is throwing so many wrenches into this drama that\\xa0we are going to stop trying to figure it out anymore.

Also this week, Judy apparently can\'t pronounce\\xa0the word "chairman" and Linda has trouble with\\xa0"gun-go-gu-ma". Linda\'s prediction about the Grim Reaper (Lee DongWook)\'s past life was correct! We\'re excited and curious about how this will affect the friendship between Shin and Grim Reaper.

We don\'t know what we\'ll do\\xa0if their magical friendship were to break up!\\xa0
