Last year, we said if we raised $500 during the Livestream for the Cure, we would do an episode about Steven Spielberg's WEST SIDE STORY - pitting Alex against his nemesis, Ansel Elgort.

So here we are.

This warm-up video will give you some extra Rotten Tomatoes quotes, some extra trivia, some trailer chatter, and, of course - The Josh Gad Minute. All expertly edited by @nerd_scum .

As for the episode itself:
