We made it to 100! We would have liked to do a live show to celebrate but well *gestures in any direction* so instead Alan, Sarah, and Ellen(!) got together on Zoom to talk about some of their favourite things from the years they were born (1984, 1988, and 1992 respectively). So what are those things? Well there's This Is Spinal Tap, The Secret History, Red Dwarf, The Replacements, Who Framed Roger Rabbit? and Barney along with a live reading of some Barney creepypasta. It was extremely nice to have the OG Juvenalia Three back together. We hope you like it too. Thanks for sticking around for a hundred episodes.
