9. We Watch for the WOMEN with Angel
This week, beloved friend and podcast hype squad member Angel arrives on the podcast to talk about watching Pretty Little Liars in the year 2021, questionable media tastes, and [checks notes] an anime-inspired web series with a catgirl? Well, that can't be right. Listen to this episode to learn how things unraveled so quickly.
Note: In this episode, we mistakenly stated that there are eight seasons of Pretty Little Liars. There are only seven. That's still too many.
Content warning: There is a non-graphic discussion of teeth-related horror with regards to events that happened on the Pretty Little Liars TV show from 47:48-49:41. This episode also discusses relationships between minors and adults within a larger conversation of Pretty Little Liars' flaws.

**NOTE: Due to microphone issues that were not detected until the editing stage, the audio on this episode is not as good as it usually is. This problem will be fixed in future episodes.**
