Happy New Jesse Armstrong Content Eve! By the time our next episode drops, his new film, Mountainhead will be released into the wild (HBO/Sky/Now TV.) May Our Lord and Saviour, Jesse David, watch over you and bring peace to the land, the crops, the pigs, and the chickens.

Peace be with you.
(And with you.)
