Episode #5: Season 1, Ep. 5 -- Gladys - a podcast by Film Geek Radio

That's one way to open an episode of television. "Gladys" gives new meaning to the phrase "let's get stoned," and begins with one of the most depressing cold opens in recent memory. Andrew and Charlie debate whether a hook can be effective while still arguably ethically unjustifiable. What do we learn about the Guilty Remnant in this episode? Why is Kevin still losing random things and freaking out about it? Is the climactic confrontation between Laurie and Matt compelling? And when does a show just become misery porn? Tune in to find out.
