We talk about our nerdy collections (except Carter). We also whine about YouTuber, TurboButton, and his take on cover shooters being an agent of the Devil.

We are pretty lame when it comes to leaving the house and concerts aren't any exception. Also, we are pretty tired of fantasy race tropes. They've got some deep issues and deserve to be revisited.

Which ones have you always hated?Black Mirror: We discuss the episodes in Season 1“National Anthem” underrated episode. It’s easy to discredit this episode because it was shocking, but we think it is important to appreciate it despite the discomfort. We found lots to love in this episode.“15 Million Merits” another amazing episode. An incredibly in-depth dystopia with broad implications and many layers of meaning. There is social, relational, moral, and political meanings and each is a penetrating discourse.“The Entire History of You” A fantastic ending to season 1. More of a character drama exploring obsession, narrative bias, and depression.

X-Men: Last Stand. Also, I feel compelled to explain that when Carter said X-Men: Origins, I was thinking of X-Men: First Class, hence my eager defense of the film. Don’t think less of me.
