For the first time in a hundred-somethingty episodes, our fearless leader Dan Hamamura was unable to host this week’s Podjiba recording (he muttered something about having to go buy a pack of smokes on his way out the Pajiba office door, so I’m sure he’s totally gonna be right back. Right?). Not wanting to let our faithful listeners down, Dustin and I rallied to make this podcast happen on our own. We figured out where GarageBand is on our computers! We clicked some buttons and dialed some virtual knobs! We even recruited Kaleena to join us for the first time, to provide some much-needed class and gravitas in Dan’s absence. Without her, it would have just been an hour of Dustin and me arguing about Green State Lager and why it’s not called Green Street, and nobody wants to listen to that.

(Fun fact: There IS in fact a Green Street beer! It is, or was, an IPA from Trillium Brewing in MA, but they replaced it with an updated version called “Really Green Street” which is… a double IPA. Sorry, Dustin!)

So, despite some technical difficulties that are Tori’s definitely Dan’s fault, not to mention a runtime that borders on the absurd (what even is “editing” anyway?), we managed to pull this thing off. What’s on deck this week?

- Dustin tells us if the aliens were worth it in the Invasion finale!

- Kaleena fills us in on all the drama we missed on And Just Like That: Is this the revival anybody wanted to see from Sex and the City?

- We discuss the premieres of Landscapers and Abbott Elementary, and using our patent-pending Podjiba-Meter we determine that both shows are scientifically worthy of your time!

- Tori reminds us that Hawkeye is still doing just fine!

- And yes, we go all-in on the season 3 finale of Succession, the character moments that moved us, the Tom of it all, and where we think the show will go from here. (Catch up on Kaleena’s recap if you missed it!)

Podjiba: Definitely almost barely not a complete shambles when Hammer’s gone! (lol jk, Dan come back) Find us wherever fine podcasts are platformed, or listen right here!
