Happy Thanksgiving, Rocketeers! We at Pop Rocket are thankful for you, our listeners. For the purposes of this episode, Wynter will be playing the role of Margaret\u2019s sister who always criticizes her stuffing recipe, while Karen is the gay aunt who sold Wappler a bunk Subaru.

There was a lot of tension in the studio, and everyone was walking on eggshells. Will our panelists be able to make it through a discussion of awkward family gatherings without bursting into tears? Will Wynter be triggered by a clip of\xa0The Family Stone? Will Margaret angrily scream, \u201cEat the fish, b***h!\u201d? The panel dissects some of their favorite awkward moments--on screen and off--and try to figure out why we\u2019re so captivated by angry, obnoxious relatives. If any of you out there have concerns about fraught dinner conversations over turkey, stuffing, and sides, the panelists are here for you!

All Abouts

Margaret alerted us to a fine piece of writing from\xa0New York Times critic Amanda Hess, who laments, \u201cnothing ever ends anymore and it\u2019s driving me insane.\u201d If you\u2019re overwhelmed by sequels, prequels, reboots, and overlapping universes, she\u2019s a kindred spirit.

If no one spots Wynter out in the wild over the next two weeks, it\u2019s probably because she\u2019s playing her newest video game obsession\xa0Red Dead Redemption II.

Karen recently discovered the new ABC sitcom\xa0Single Parents\xa0starring Taran Killam, Leighton Meester and Jake Choi.
