We were so chatty this week we barely even touched our delicious spreadsheet! Monkeys Islands Sebastian Vettel drives fast Dark Star Art
We bid farewell to an icon of the silver screen. His wit, charm and open hand will be missed, but I realised while editing that a very important part of the process has been missed. We’ll come back to this next week, I assure you… RIP Sean “Slaps” Connery Cyberpunk delayed No Man’s Sky getting prettier
Luke’s let himself down but he actually came through for you listeners this week. He just forgot about it.
This week we consider the criterion necessary to become Geek of the Week. Turns out, just being in a Lady Gaga video does not get you the accolade.
Dan’s back and we somehow manage to spend a good chunk of time discussing Star Wars again, but that’s not all! We’ve got some follow up regarding James Gunn, some follow up regarding Roseanne and some follow up regarding Luke’s podcast.
Dan is still absent from the podcast. Presumably he got lost swimming around The Pirate Bay. He told us he was in Italy and that’s what that means, right?
Whether you’re the original version of yourself or simply a copy constructed during the process of teleportation, we think you’ll enjoy this week’s episode. If you’ve ever wanted to hear Matt admit he plays a sport, Luke talk about what he’d do with a copy of himself, or Dan eat some soup - we’ve got you covered.
We keep hoping Hasbro will make a line of Multiple Nerdgasm Star Wars toys. What more do we have to do? Put on masks and laugh? We can do that!
