Cam and Steph recently found out about a play called All In A Row that went up in the UK last month. The play sounds to have been, uh, Extremely Bad…however, not everyone thought so.

What do K-Pop and Andy Warhol have in common? Steph and Cam attempt to figure that out in this episode!

At some point in this one, Cameron and Stephanie realize that they inadvertently made part two of their “Separating the Artist from the Art” episode. But first!
