BBQ. Child Psychology. Group Parenting. Kevin Wilson's "Perfect Little World" has just about everything, but the Squad would really like some more reality show-style trash, please. Join the Squad as we discuss the novel's characters, pacing, and of course, the significance of the almighty BBQ. Plus, the Squad tells you what we're into lately and answers listener questions on "Horrorstör" and "The Handmaid's Tale." Stick around for hot takes on which Fiennes brother is the superior one and why dry weddings are the worst.
