THE EDGE OF THE BLADE: In the midst of his Fear the Walking Dead watch-through, Andrew rediscovers the wonder and majesty of the actor (and musician and politician) Ruben Blades.
DOCTOR WHO: [WARNING: the discussion contains SPOILERS] Our hosts discuss the second season (series 15) of Doctor Who, showcasing the Fifteenth Doctor (as played by Ncuti Gatwa) struggling to get his displaced companion, Belinda Chandra, back home to Earth. It had a lot of great stories and a lot of surprises and a lot of ties back to the previous season; our hosts discuss all the angles.
NEW REALMS OF NERD: D. Bethel briefly discusses his foray in to mechanical keyboards and is reasonably perplexed by the experience.
