With COVID-19 still happening around the globe, the Word Crew switched it up this week to a (mostly) "Stream Team" episode, discussing what is happening in the world of entertainment. Namely: Is "Westworld" trying too hard? Why is Jerry Seinfeld giving Phil Jackson basketball advice on "The Last Dance". And what is James supposed to watch now that "Homeland" is over? Also, we reveal our first sponsor!
