Unnerving CGI January closes out with the truly awesome Species, which all three of us loved. Plus a healthy disagreement about The GOOP Lab. Emily defends Gwyneth, Molly calls Gwyneth the new age Joe Rogan, and Tess moderates pragmatically like a new age Judge Judy. Is The GOOP Lab sinister or silly? The "Wellness" discussion becomes a chat about Jane Marie's podcast The Dream, whose second season is covering wellness scams including essential oils and their "vibrations." Then it's back to weird CGI with a night call about the first ever computer animated character to express emotions, followed by a rollicking celebration of Species.

CONTENT WARNING: a discussion of pet death
