the laugh track is so damn good and elevates it so much too. joshua is really interesting. i honestly wasn't sure how i felt about his worldview and i'm still not sure i do, he's an interesting critter though and actually getting a look into his psyche after him being mostly-comic-relief for so long feels very well-earned. such an emotional rollercoaster of an episode: i think yvonne is the character i agree with most in the argument but the whole thing is just so entangled with personal biases and all that it feels a little grimy to entirely agree with any of them. which is a great feeling for a piece of fiction to inspire and something this show is really good at. it really feels like listening to a friend group implode lmao.

i did find the "cis privilege" aspect of it to be a bit heavyhanded in a way that didn't land for me as much spoken directly as it did as subtext, but camp is very heavyhanded in general - the social commentary in this podcast has admittedly never really done much for me but i do definitely admire the balls on this show for putting a lot of these things as plainly as it does.

also i LOVE yvonne and jedidiah's friendship oh my god it's so good. agonizing. in general this trio has some of the most interesting stuff going on to me and i've always been curious how much yvonne and joshua know about things like sydney's death, as people close to both him and jeddie at the time, and jedidiah's tendency to not really acknowledge that sydney exists to other people as much as he does him.
