Travel back in time with the boys to 2016 as they cover ‘Arrival’, the now-classic film from Denis Villeneuve! Before they enter the heptapod chamber, G+J cover new singles from Olivia Rodrigo and Charli; Jeff Probst’s ‘Survivor 50’ fuck up; a new show from Damon Lindelof & Laura Linney, ‘Lanterns’; and the longest standing Os from Cannes! Despite knowing the journey and where it leads, dear listeners, we welcome every moment of it.
