No Episode This Week (this isn't a meta title there's really no episode)
This is just a quick announcement, there's no episode of Fictional this week. We had a death in the family and I needed to take some time. I'm not going anywhere and Fictional will return 9/3/25 (in two weeks) and we'll finish out the remaining four episodes of this season. Thanks for your understanding.
