Episode Description from the Publisher

While our host Elliott is away in London this week auditioning for the lead role in the next James Bond film (it's down to him or Jacob Elordi, fingers crossed!), please enjoy another repeat performance. On this episode of ClueLess, host Elliot Kalan welcomes back the highly entertaining duo of Janet Varney (SF Sketchfest, Avatar: Braving The Elements, Stan Against Evil) and her good friend Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother, A Series Of Unfortunate Events, Starship Troopers) to take a couple reps of a new game: Leg Day (ClueLess fans will pick this one up right away). Then, it’s a return of a new favorite, This Or That: Elliott will provide a series of clues, and on this occasion you must answer if they refer to a designer perfume or a Swedish black metal band. A knowledge of contemporary pop stars is needed for the MegaClue!   Listen to Janet’s podcast E Pluribus Motto with John Hodgman!
