On episode 279 Nick is joined by fellow super-fan Lottie to discuss the sketch comedy show I Think You Should Leave (Netflix). We discuss the politics of the show, focusing on Lefty politics in the fandom, gender and representation. We also cover some of our favourite sketches from Season 2, including Cant Drive (our biggest disagreement in our rankings), Brians Hat (Lotties favourite) and Gimme Dat (Nicks favourite). Also covered on the episode is Season 1 versus Season 2 of ITYSL and the Andy Kaufman connection with ITYSL fans. For more on Kaufman check out the movie Man on the Moon and the documentary Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond (Netflix). See below for our combined rankings of all of the season 2 sketches (ranked from our least favourite at the top, down to our combined favourite at the bottom).
