Episode 44
It’s the end of the semester, and the Nuts have a lot to say about the end of spring and pending summer plans. Lindsey expresses her terror at hooding a doctoral student, and the Nuts describe their love/hate relationship with graduation ceremonies. Lindsey gives her opinion of the coronation of King Charles, the team discusses the writer’s strike and its impact on Hollywood content output, and much love and concern for the future of Yellowstone is expressed. The show wraps up with a discussion of the rapid adoption of new media technologies, and how legal and contractual systems struggle to keep up.
