Square cut. No debate.  What the Cast Builds From Jay\u2019s hometown memories, the ensemble creates:   A gossip podcast about everyone\u2019s business   Murder-for-hire teenagers (discount pricing)   Competing pizza wars   Jailhouse proms   Funeral pizza parties   Oompa Loompa labor disputes   Alien population control   Population: decreasing.
