It’s the first post-October episode. Instead of focusing on a month of thanks, it’s just business as usual.
Week in Geek: Andrew plays some more Civilization: Beyond Earth and also finally gets his mitts on a copy of Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo 3DS. Dan, on the other hand, talks about the new album from his newest favorite band, Dawnbringer, called Night of the Hammer. m/
30 Years of Busting Ghosts: As children of the ’80s, Dan and Andrew decide that this is as good a time as any to discuss why Ghostbusters is still so amazing.
Ladies Second?: Speaking of Ghostbusters, with the recent announcement of a likely all-female reboot of Ghostbusters––as well as the troubled all-female Expendables spinoff, The Expendabelles––Andrew and Dan discuss this very interesting version of the reboot––recasting nerdy franchises with a completely female cast. They discuss the pros and cons and the possibilities as well as any pitfalls that could come with such decisions.
The Master and The Mistress: As Series 8 of Doctor Who draws to a close, Dan and Andrew discuss one of the Doctor’s most famous and notorious adversaries––The Master! Consider this discussion a primer for all things Master, just in case you need it.
