3.20 The Bitch is Back 05/01/2022

3.20 The Bitch is Back Season Three finale! When this aired, we had no idea we'd be getting a movie AND a fourth season years down the road. This episode has tons of season one flair and we can't wait to dig into it. Follow us on and . Check out . /episode/index/show/bringbackuppod/id/22970807

3.19 Weevils Wobble But They Don't Fall Down 03/17/2022

3.19 Weevils Wobble But They Don't Fall Down Today we’re breaking down Season 3, Episode 19 - Weevils Wobble But They Don’t Fall Down. As the title foretells, Weevil is back, finally! And once again he’s facing a very accusatory tone from Veronica. She just loves to never believe him! It’s their thing! This episode is a fun one, I love the rich student thieves storyline and the side plot with Wallace and his throwback to the pilot beach plane. I don’t especially love how the episode ends, though. A penultimate episode sex tape scandal is not really what you expect.. Or want. /episode/index/show/bringbackuppod/id/22486562
