This week kicks off with some travel woes, news stress, and how Merlin is laboring to save \u201cPlanty.\u201d John learns his concerns about Merlin\u2019s multitasking afternoon bath habits were well-founded. The beauty of non-obvious movie effects and CGI are lauded.\n\nThis week\u2019s main topic is ***Mid-Life Crisis***. What even is it? How do you know if you\u2019re having one, and how many will there be? How come there\u2019s so few movies about women going through this? John dings Merlin for yucking on Red Corvette Guy\u2019s yum.\n\nThere\u2019s some spirited discussion of power ballads and soaring hard rock opera. 'Cause nothin' lasts forever\u2014even cold November rain.\n\nAt about `1:44:49`, your hosts retire to the Spoiler Slot for (yes, *finally*) a look back at _The Leftovers_ Season 3. They remember some of what happened and even some of the order in which it happened. What was so exhilarating and so frustrating and so ultimately satisfying about this very weird show?\n\nStick around after the end for some insight into how even John\u2019s estimable Terminal skills couldn\u2019t save the first hour of Merlin\u2019s audio. So it goes.\n\n(_Recorded on Tuesday, August 15, 2017._)
