Water, But Wetter (S6 EP 16 "Lost and Found")
This week's season 6 episode is completely middle-of-the-road. But we were able to find some entertainment in our new OC Junkyard Jim, the sizzling pairing of Eddie and Ravi, and the evergreen Oscars debate.Listen to our latest Patreon episode where we watched disaster movies that have inspired 9-1-1! https://www.patreon.com/FirstRespodcast/posts/bonus-episode-9-171032302?utm_medium=clipboard_copy
Dominic Dawson is Dead (S6 EP 15 "Death and Taxes")
This week, we're pretty much back to boring season 6 episodes. Eddie tries to schedule a visit with his mom who sucks, Buck gets a love interest that he has negative chemistry with, and Athena dully tries to detain the dreaded Dominic Dawson, denounced for his dastardly deeds, but determines him decidedly deceased. But at least there's a reasonably fun, Everything Everywhere All At Once-style, 'Ma
Forgiveness (S6 EP 14 "Performance Anxiety")

Normal Desmond (S6 EP 7 "Cursed")
Hear us discuss season 6's NOT Halloween episode, Cursed. An episode with an okay A plot in which Eddie actually gets close to having chemistry with a woman!
