Alistair and his amazing friend Nigel are here to look at some of the horrors of the world this week. They keep it light, only talking religion and politics, but at least they avoid all those divisive topics like the weather. This may well be one of the most personal episodes we have ever done, in all honesty.

JJ and his amazing friend Jason remember the time when we would do an annual clean show in honor our beloved Editor-In-Chief, John. We haven’t done it in a while, but we still think he is the Cat’s Pajamas and we know he isn’t always a fan of our “unique” use of language. So this episode is dedicated to him.

The subject matter, however, is maybe a little less joyful. Fandom is broken, and we share our thoughts on how we got here and do our part to try to fix it.

JJ and his amazing friend Jason have discovered a new malady this week. It is apparently very contagious and makes storylines better. Is it good or bad, who is to say. However, before that discovery is made, the pair talk a bit about a personality type that makes “sadness” a form of performance art, and another who can make getting nothing accomplished, seem like the hardest work of all.

The pair talk about usual podcasty catching up stuff for the first roughly an hour, then dive into the pool of joy that is Spider-Man Homecoming.

JJ and his amazing friend Jason get real. JJ talks about ongoing issues with social anxiety and how he is really trying to change the face he puts out into public, but don’t worry, it does not stay serious for long. The pair then talk about the movie Logan, basically. There are many tangents and talk of what is going on in “geek culture”, but they do come back and touch base with claw guy before splintering again. They also touch a little on the new Netflix series Iron Fist but neither have seen more than two episodes, so don’t expect much depth there.
