Before we delve into the wide world of cartoons, we discuss a plethora of paranormal news. Steve actually believes one of them has some credence! 

We discuss all sorts of cartoons that we love. From Saturday morning cartoons, to Disney afternoons, to Adult Swim, to poorly drawn lovable trash. What are some of your favorites?

This week in Trailer Reviews, we cover Get Hard, Hitman: Agent 47, and Crimson Peak

We jump off with some Nerdy News, with ants eating habits and pyromaniac ghosts.

Then Jarman gives a rundown of the whole timeline of the Ghostbusters franchise; from the TV show it stole its name from, to the films, animated series, video games and comic books, to present day with the impending reboot.

Steve and Jarman then fight over which movie is better, Ghostbusters or Ghostbusters II. Which one was your favorite?! 

In an all new spin on the all time favorite A Play On Nerds game, Brooklyn Band or Smut Search, Steve plays Boogie Man or Band, with Jarman, where he has to decide if the given name is a British band name, or the name of a real reported ghost. Hilarity ensues. 

For Trailer Reviews this week we cover Fantastic Four (or Fant4sic...), Digging Up the Marrow, and Alien Outpost.

This week we have a insect-loaded episode, I'm sure filled with even more factual inaccuracies. Too bad we can't have an entomologist on the show to school us on this subject!

First up in Nerdy News we cover the new Thync mood enhancer that debuted at the CES convention and the unfortunate trend in Monarch butterfly migrations.

For the first segment, Steve quizzes Jarman on the super powers of real life bugs, in The Best Offense is a Good Defense! Steve names the bug and you and Jarman have to guess what their defense mechanism is. There are some CRAZY bugs out there.

Then for our feature segment we delve into Copy Cat Cinema, with the 1998 doppelganger movies, A Bug's Life and Antz. These films are super alike, but we pick apart the differences, just for you.

Then Jarman names the titles of some crazy insect movies, and Steve tries to make his own zany plot for each one. The real plots aren't any better or worse....

In Trailer Reviews, we cover Ant-Man, Strange Magic, and Hot Tub Time Machine 2!
