Thoughts:
• This episode premiered on Aug. 19, 2022.
• Plenty of laughs in this one. Very funny stuff. But though the riffing was great, the movie put me to sleep.
• Callbacks: a Spanish version of “Every Country Has a Monster.” “And watch out for snakes.” “Hi keebat!”
• Fave riff: “When I heard the title ‘Batwoman,’ I knew there’d be a lot water, but this is ridiculous”
• Honorable mentions: “And mink,” “Pull the chain for ping-pong balls,” “Put your hands on your hips…,” “Where was she keeping that smoke bomb?” “Wow, negging totally works,” “I do NOT like the sound of that transmission.” “From here to infirmary” and “A pledge pin??”
