It may be November, but there's still plenty of time left to memorialize landmark records celebrating their 20th anniversary! This time it's U2's career-changing Achtung Baby, which music editor Steven Hyden loved and host Kyle Ryan hated. What they discover here is that the album isn't as different as it seemed 20 years ago. Quiz Master Scott Tobias had an idea for a new game that we try out, though it seems endless. We solve the mystery of a half-remembered animated film for a listener in Ask The A.V. Club, then another listener asks us what went wrong at NBC. We close it out with Extracurricular Activities, kicking Project Runway when it's down.
