711 – Great Again

Did Murphy pull it off with the final episode of FX’s American Horror Story: Cult?  Did he in fact, make AHS “Great Again?”  Ehhh…  But A.Ron and Cecily feel that he made a few decent points about the state of modern America, at least one cautionary tale, but mostly this episode is an Inception style mess of flashbacks and flashforwards and who knows how deep into this dream we’re all in, but I’m pretty sure if we don’t get out soon we’ll all be stuck in limbo.  We try to restore sanity to the time line before considering a heaping helping of last minute feedback from our fellow fans.  Thanks for listening, it’s been a fun ride!

A.Ron and Cecily have seen the latest episode of FX’s American Horror Story, “Holes”, and aren’t sure if they’re talking about trypophobia or the plot.  Good gravy we’re confused about when and how Meadow died exactly, when Ivy and Alley’s relationship dove into the crapper, and how steam rooms work in the real world.  Also; we explain gaslighting in a one act play.  Also, also; feedback!  See you next week!
