Episode notes

Amber, Christian, and Casey are joined by Lucky Yates (Dr. Krieger) to revisit Tragical History — Season 2, Episode 6 of Archer.

They discuss laugh tracks, the strange ways memory works, and why this episode illuminates so much about Cyril. Lucky talks about Planet of the Apes and how Krieger’s legendary Charlton Heston rant was a lifelong dream come true. The gang also dives into the wonders of the Archer Wiki, buoys versus gulls, and Pam’s Schützenmeister machine.

Also in this episode: Cyril’s childhood flashback, George Spelvin, “Hunch hunch, what what,” Amber and Lucky signing butts at conventions, our new segment 100,000 Point Pyramid, Gillette’s crisis vest, Cheryl’s computer disposal methods, Elijah Otis, the Spruce Goose, and the difference between Alan Cumming and Alan Turing.
