Will is joined by fellow old-school Arthur fan Genna Buck as they critique Francine's lack of spy skills in "Francine & The Soccer Spy" and lament the failings(?) of community action in "Sue Ellen & The Last Page." Genna has some great observations about gender presentation on the show and casts a journalistic eye onto representations of the military and the political process in this episode. The pair also chat about the importance of annoying kid representation, gush about libraries (and Miss Turner), and chuckle about the new technology and slang in Arthur! Keep up with Genna at gennabuck.com and follow her on Twitter (genna_buck)! Look out for her podcast, "Pages Past", soon...
Will and Lucas take on the next double episode of the show with "The Master Builders"! Find out what movie got Will to go back to the movie theatre, what the guys think of the Planet of the Apes and Kinnikuman franchises, as well as gardening, the Aurora Borealis, profit margins, 3D printers, Habitat 67, and Potato.
Will crawls out of his hermit hole to join Lucas in kicking off Arthur season 21, first with an all-timer Binky look in "Binky's 'A' Game" and take aim at the next vapid socialites in "Brain and the Time Capsule." Plus, the guys catch up on where the show was this season aired, Lucas remembers his own time capsule experience, Will gets hung up on Ho Ho's, and they both struggle to remember just what happened in 2018...

Lucas regales Will with tales of Wrestlemania and Philly cheesesteaks and Will weighs in on the new Arthur digital short before they settle in for some best friend cuteness in "Prunella's Tent of Portent" and a chilling pre-COVID joke in "Mutiny on the Pitch". All that plus Calvinism, art opinions, another background character's confirmed name, and which Arthur character is the Head of the Table?
With Lucas living his Wrestlemania dream, Will tags in returning guest Hannah to help tackle the inner workings of the ear in "Lend Me Your Ear" and a very familiar Bailey escapade in "The Butler Did It"!

Will and Lucas kick off with some quick Oscar thoughts and a tribute to Akira Toriyama before referencing Rashomon yet again in "He Said, He Said" and contending with the biggest animal hierarchy episode ever in "Bunny Trouble"!
