Episode 85 - Stranger Things Season 2! - Recap and Review

November 17, 2017

Have you finally watched season 2 of Stranger Things on Netflix?! Well on the feature segment today we recap and review the whole thing! What characters did you like? Was there too much action? Too much character development? What was with that one episode that wasn't even in Hawkins Indiana? We tackle it all.

For Nerdy News we cover the mysterious time travelling gambler who can't lose, the Marvel Cinematic Universe's record breaking box office receipts, and a new algorithm that can diagnose you over social media!

Then Jarman brings back an old segment, Preternatural Penetration, where we talk about the real "historical" mysteries surrounding the Montauk Project that inspired the story of Stranger Things. Then Steve sets the stage for us to jump into 80s nostalgia with some fun facts about early arcade games.

After the feature we have some arcade trivia: Is it a 1980s arcade game title? Or failed sci-fi TV show?

For Trailer Reviews we cover Winchester: The House That Ghosts Built and The New Mutants. Keeping things strange....

Then join us for some more Radical Recommends we know you'll love. A jam packed episode!

Episode 49 - New Star Trek TV Series!

November 9, 2015

With CBS's recent announcement of a new Star Trek TV series officially on the horizon, we figure it's the perfect time to wildly speculate as to what it will be about! When will it be set? Who will be cast? What universe will it be in?! We try to guess at the answer to these questions and more. For much needed help in this giant discussion we are joined buy Chris Mitchell from the Ten Forward Podcast, and Ryan Porter from Positively Nerdy! They add their essential Star Trek knowledge and expertise. You can find our guests on Twitter: Chris @ChrisCantFly and Ryan @PositivelyNerdy

Before we delve into the main discussion, Steve contribute some bizarre Nerdy News about helmets and auto-erotic-asphyxiation, and Jarman gives an update on that possible alien Dyson sphere far far away.

In Trailer Reviews, we discuss the much anticipated Warcraft film, and the controversial upcoming Tarantino flick, The Hateful Eight.
