We indulge in a little self-Daredevil action with dramatised readings of Ed and Amanda's own stories and a little one-on-one tough love, before talk turns to the NanoWriMo A.I. controversy and our cancellable thoughts on the matter.

In Get Rec'd we turn the microscope on the film, 'May December', and its ties to the true story of convicted pedophile, May Kay Letourneau.
