    Show notes

    The pandemic has been tough on all of us, and for Jeremy, it means him being out of a job. With the rent due in two weeks, and bills still not paid, he has no choice but to apply for a children's show reboot that is hiring actors, and according to his friend who got the job surprisingly quick, is easy work and pays good money. Perhaps something that seems too good to be true really is, but maybe it is good money. You will have to find out what happens in this special episode featuring the reboot of Creepolodeans, The Wonkleberries.
