We talk about the first season of Netflix's new hit fantasy series The Witcher! As with all our recent episodes featuring TV shows, there are light spoilers here, so keep that in mind.

We talk about the latest movie in the DCEU, the girl gang movie Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of one Harley Quinn.
Spoiler warning in effect!

It's Academy Awards time, which means nominees for Best Score. We discuss our own five favorite scores in the fantasy, science-fiction, and superhero genre from 2019 with special guest David Raiklen.
During this episode, we play clips from the scores below:
Avengers: Endgame -- Portals
Captain Marvel -- Main Theme
Joker -- Call Me Joker
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker -- Fleeing from Kijimi
Watchmen -- Nun with a Motherf**king Gun

The CW has just finished airing DC crossover event Crisis on Infinite Earths. The event is divided into 5 parts, spanning many of their superhero shows:
Part 1: Supergirl
Part 2: Batwoman
Part 3: Flash
Part 4: Arrow
Part 5: DC's Legends of tomorrow
That means it's time for us to talk about it!
As with most of our TV show episodes, there are some spoilers, but not too heavy.

We discus the first (and possibly only?) season of Watchmen, the HBO show that show runner Damon Lindelof called a "remix" of the original graphic novel (which he had also called the greatest modern work of literature). The series takes place 34 years after the graphic novel, in a world beset by many of the same evils as our own.
Light spoilers, so nothing major is given away, but probably a little bit more than the trailers. Forewarned is forearmed!

For this first episode of 2020, we are talking about one of the very best shows of 2019! We dive into our thoughts on The Mandalorian, the first live action series set in the Star Wars universe, now streaming on Disney+.
