   83 - "I plead Incognito"

   Raoul Biron (https://www.instagram.com/raoulbiron/) returns to the red carpet by popular demand, and audiences are going nuts. Calm down, audiences! These are cold reads of comedy sketches by people who have never seen them before. "St Peter" at 11:19 "Mattress" at 24:47 "Telemachus" at 39:29 "Podcast" at 49:48 Conversation spanned driving exams, manifesto critiques, scots in Boston, and a huge debate about mauve that threatened to tear the entire thing apart. That's Hollywood tension, baby. All our thanks to Sean Sullivan for turning in another winner. John was miscast and then won! Hosted by John Farrell, Thom Crowley, and Katlin McFee.
