Hello listeners! Alex Jaffe and Gita Jackson continue on our re-read of 52. This week they covered issue 7, checking in on failson Booster Gold and the trials and tribulations of lesbian disaster Renee Montoya.

On this episode, Gita goes on an extremely long digression about My Chemical Romance, their favorite emo band.

He even convinced Grant Morrison to star in a music video for the group, where Morrison does some particularly unconvincing acting.
