We start by talking about Newbury Comics on Newbury Street in Boston, and then a bit about Jim's adventures bringing a teenage crowd to see Black Flag when he was an RA at Bennington College. We talk about Jim's attempt to read St. Augustine, and actually find something interesting to talk about regarding that religious work. We talk about a public lecture given by a Yale Professor as part of the free lecture series on the early middle ages.

Here is a link to the lecture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KiPJq7-5lH4

We move on the Stanley Tucci in Italy, which we both enjoyed. Jim & Lionel then rattle off a series of TV shows including Your Friends and Neighbors, Andor 2, Dope Thief, and The Last of Us, and we discuss each.
