The computer has been bullying our heroes - and Isaac calls a secret meeting to see what can be done about it. Discussed in this episode - nerd bullying, gatekeeping and toxic fan cultures.

Malik has collected the human passengers of the ship (and Caine) for the worst possible reason - she wants to talk about her recent dream. Discussed in this episode: the concept of totems from the movie Inception, horcruxes, Voldemorts bad decision making, and the idea of comparing Inception and The Matrix movies (The Matrices?)

The human inhabitants of the Drake discuss whether The Flintstones stands the test of time. They look at the first movie, the NES video game and Nathan discusses a fan theory about the universe.

The crew discuss the tragedy of when good game companies go bad, learn that Zarxos will do anything to make a quick buck and are treated to some delightful commercials. Links to the commercials (full length is even funnier) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDbTKCbp4fc and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkmeoYKYctw

I'm gonna level with you, this episode is kind of a grab bag of tangentially related topics. Malik, Nathan and Isaac meet on the bridge in the middle of a harrowing incident, and quickly divert all attention to issues of highest priority: HuniePop, Ratchet and Clank, Pokemon, Roleplaying games and Star Wars.

The crew share their embarrassing guilty pleasures and Caine does his best to come up with something he's embarrassed about. Discussed in this episode - Twilight, 50 Shades of Grey, Hamtaro and the Japanese film Suicide Club.

The crew assembles and discusses some of the biggest letdowns of all time - discussed in this episode at the risk of some serious nerd backlash: the MCU, the new Harry Potter movies and the Fahrenheit 451 TV series.

The crew talk about zombie media (The Walking Dead, Izombie, 28 days later, among others) and argue about how well each crewmember would do in the case of a global outbreak. Take the quiz and see how much better you did than the crew! Link to the quiz: https://zomboid.com/zombie/

Sorry for the minisode, we're working on the next full length episode right now! Malik wants everyone to know that she had nothing to do with this one. Enjoy! Sounds used in this minisode: "Audience Reactions! » Approx 850 - Enthusiast Audience.wav" https://freesound.org/people/lonemonk/sounds/31169/ and "smallaudiencechatter" https://freesound.org/people/oniwe/sounds/32862/

Minisode! Nathan and Caine have roped Malik and Isaac into playing along with their new project - a compelling crime drama. The place - The Drake, the time - that isn't really explained because Nathan can barely read, let alone write. On the other hand, who needs writing when you have such amazing acting talent?
