Superfans: Karen and Natalie

Fun Facts:
Mitch gets us on a Glee tangent as he rewatches the West Side Story episode while we podcast tonight. Natalie is listening to her entire CD library and is having a few Glee feelings as well. Kristen mainlined The Crown while Karen was away for Christmas and is having major Claire Foy feelings. Karen watched the first two episodes of Black Mirror and was beyond impressed with them, especially when it comes to the aspect ratio details.

-Synopsis
-Mitch gives us his first impressions of Rat Amy's return.
-Kennedy the manipulator.
-Willow may have needed a little push to get back out into the world.

-Rat Amy returns!
-Amy is not the hero, but has a little bit of justification for her actions. Just a little.

Angel season 4, episode 11, "Soulless":

-Fun fact: Sean Astin, aka Samwise Gamgee, aka Bob from Stranger Things, directed this episode.
-Cordy's character has been reduced to who she sleeps with and we are not okay with it.
-Every time Connor enters a scene everything comes to a grinding halt. Ugh.
