KT Zane pops in on us to share their popcorn wisdom and the horrors of Junior Mints. It's a fun episode fighting through technical problems and having a grand old time!
Dan, Matt, and Shaharah talk about Top Ten, best summed up as The Wire with super powers. We dig into the jokes, the drama, and the tiny little things hidden in each panel.

After an abnormally chilly fest last year, it looks like the sizzling weather familiar to any seasoned folkie is back with a vengeance.
Dan, Matt, and Sharah discuss the graphic novel Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi and its sadly relevant story.

Mainstream A-list stars and a hot TV actor/indie director making his first genre film using a flashy gimmick with lots of mainstream media buzz? Not interested.

We chat about the 2022 DC Pride issue and we get into the fun, the funny, and the fearless of this special issue. We all get a little sad at Kevin Conroy's personal story shared in this issue and reflect on THE Batman, as well as some horny thorny plant ladies.
