As always, thanks to K’Bana Blaq for permission to use Punk as our theme song.

Chris and Darren have both seen all of Jessica Jones season 2 so it must be time for a review - a spoiler filled one so be warned. Darren talks about the reissue of the 1994 Spiel des Jahres winning board game Manhattan. We get through the second half of round one of the Tournament of Fools and Darren gives his top 3 Gateway Comics. Once you’ve had a taste it will leave you wanting more!

This week on the podcast there’s a lot of nostalgia because Roseanne is back on TV, Ready Player One is in Theatres and Chris’s Take Home Top 3 assignment is all about Sequels, Prequels and Reboots. Chris goes even further back in time to talk about the 168 year old mystery of the loss of the HMS Terror on their ill-fated Arctic Expedition in AMC’s aptly titled, The Terror, while Darren goes interstellar and back to the time of Superman’s grandfather to talk about how he was sold on SiFi’s Krypton. Our new Bracket Challenge segment has a lot of old and new tv sitcoms as we do a Tournament of Fools to discover who is the ultimate sitcom oddball.

Darren gets all serious about Snakes and Lattes while Chis completes an epic board game. A family movie from a classic novel and a unique horror film were watched. Darren returns to Wakanda and the Song Exploder podcast, but is it really just an excuse to poke Chris again because their Black Panther score is now Darren - 3, Chris - 0? Chris has been reading this week, specifically Joe Abercrombie’s latest short story collection Sharp Ends. We have an update on some comic book movie news, and some classic comedy gold from Late Night with David Letterman ends it off in the Take Home Top Three.
Thanks to K’Bana Blaq for our theme song, Punk.

Our intrepid duo catch up on a lot of comic book movies and TV, with one notable omission. Check out our thoughts on the return of Jessica Jones and The Tick. Darren unveils the unlikely setting of the Crime Town podcast, while repeatedly mixing up the city of Providence and the state of Rhode Island, and Chris advises whether or not The Walking Dead is actually worth catching up on at this point. The Take-Home Top 3 has us reminiscing about City of Heroes and other major time-sinks. Hey… that could be a superhero name: Major Timesink!

How much is too much? Chris thinks Dark earned its Grimm Preis. Darren bemoans when simple games (like Tsuro) get too big for their britches, and Chris drools over the bloated behemoth that is the new Batman game on Kickstarter. Zombies in video games are a dime a dozen, but what if They are Billions? Our first attempt at a “rapid fire” segment goes into bullet time, and the take home top three takes us from PBS broadcasts to VHS tapes.

Together we take a closer look at Cyclops' Visor, and Darren fills you in on the the best movies yet-to-be-made.
