Episode Details

Air Date: 7/11/2021

Broh-nopsis: No shame broh. We all do it broh.

Our Synopsis: We don’t want to talk about what we saw. I saw Showgirls with my Dad one time, it was awful. Then there’s this episode

Discussion:

Title Reference: An obvious shout-out to the 1996 film, Independence Day. Guessing from the preview, Bill Pullman will be proud.
