Hey Jay, I’ve got an odd question unrelated to the episode. Way back when you did the Inner Circle Jerk episode, you said that your friend wrote you a huge email on Sebastian Shaw because he’s her fave, and I was wondering, is there a non-creepy way I can get in contact with her? I wouldn’t ask for her email or anything like that, just if she has a Tumblr or something else publicly accessible. I’m a massive Shaw fan too and we’re really hard to find (he’s really been written like shit since 2008, and getting retconned as Emma’s abuser didn’t help) and it would just be cool to be able to connect with someone who likes the same character for the same reasons from his classic-era stuff. Also it’s a longshot af, but if you ever need a Shaw episode person, I would love to contribute!
Thanks, and sorry to be off-topic.
Perhaps because of my geographical location at the time of listening (Glasgow), I heard our hosts as saying that Alex dreamed that “a giant Scot” fell on him. Which was confusing.
Judy Greer should be Tigra, aka Judy Green Nelson!
