Live from The Stray Theater in Los Angeles! 🎭 In this December 2025 live show, we revisit one of our all-time favorites: Episode 822, “The Final Final”—complete with our La La Land-inspired musical number. We’re breaking it all down with the audience, sharing behind-the-scenes rehearsal footage, demo audio, and plenty of stories from filming. We also spot a young Sydney Sweeney, revisit the moment that blew up on TikTok, and point out a sneaky Shawshank Redemption visual reference in Axl’s storyline.

We've got the one and only Chris Kattan (SNL, Night at the Roxbury) with us! He's here to help us break down episode 323, "The Telling." We're talking about Chris' characterization of Frankie's favorite work friend, the magic of doing things in one take, and we even spot some photo doubles for Sean and Darrin.
