Yes No Maybe: A Malcolm in the Middle Podcast

Show Notes

Royal flush (poker term)!! Today on YNM, Willa and Ryan discuss Season 3's "Poker #2," a sequel to the classic Ken Kwapis joint "Poker" from earlier this season! And like every sequel to a perfect object, there's a high bar to clear. Do they do it? Look... I don't know. No. Is that what you want to hear? But it's a fun episode anyway! And a totally bizarre one! Malcolm fires a live pistol into his family home and nearly kills Abe!

Willa and I are sort of all over the place this ep, but in fairness it was 1000 degrees when we recorded it. Please enjoy!

Recorded at Gotham Production Studios in Manhattan.
