Along the way, Earl gets tipsy, Brent reveals he’s extremely old, and Tony stays quiet about some of his current endeavours.

Now the story of a wealthy family who lost everything and the one podcast that had no choice but to have All Kinds of Philler… it’s Arrested Development. That’s right, the long-awaited fourth season is finally here! Earl chats with Anna after marathoning all 15 episodes about the latest season of the TV show and what they think of the series as a whole. Just like the show, they both have a rich back-story, get ahead of themselves in their discussion, and say some inappropriate things! Was this new season a “Mission Accomplished”, or have they made a huge mistake?

Guests:
Anna (@gobanana66)

02:05 – First three seasons
20:10 – The new season
