Don and Patrick explain the premise of The Academy Academy. We announce our first subject, Meryl Streep(!), and discuss the direct-elimination bracket that will determine her ultimate performance.
Unfortunately, one of the brackets is Kramer vs. Kramer VS Doubt, and not Kramer: The Story of Seinfeld's Kramer VS Kramer: The Story of Jim Kramer VS Doubt.
