Merry Christmas! Isaac is full of holiday cheer, which is completely out of place in the customs of the far future.

Noon attempts to recruit the crew and mold them into a hotshot team of master criminals, but as usual the team completely fails him, except for an old buddy he brought on board for one last score. In this episode we interview the amazingly talented veteran cosplayer Emma Rubini!

An ace pilot and celebrity streamer from Nathan's past is on board The Drake, and Nathan is absolutely furious about it.

Hell, it's about time we had a time travel episode - and this one has a twist! The inhabitants of The Drake discuss the movies Predestination, Back to the Future, Groundhog Day and Happy Death Day and they talk about the portrayal of time travel in their favorite media.

Spoiler alert for Bladerunner 2049 It's Caine's birthday and the crew show up ready to party...kind of.The crew talks about the Bladerunner movies, the original and the new sequel Bladerunner 2049, and Nathan and Captain Noon show off their foolproof test to determine if someone is a robot or a human being.

Nathan has misplaced his most valued possession, and this quickly becomes a very serious problem for the other members of the crew. In this episode: loss in video games - hardcore characters, Darkest Dungeon, being afraid of characters dying, the Pokemon Nuzlocke challenge - and so many more sad things! Come listen!

With the sudden return of Nathan and Caine from a gentlemen's outing, the crew realizes they've seen quite a few "switcheroos" in the world of TV and movies. They decide to come up with the best way to determine if a member of the crew is a phony. Discussed in this episode: The Walking Dead (and how to torture someone with sitcoms), the confusing backstory of Mystique and Rogue from the X-men, fighting games, and Harley Quinn finally getting some much needed Justice.

Caine has come up with a game to pass the time because the ship's power has been knocked out due to a rainstorm...and Isaac has a serious problem with the entire premise. In this episode: guess the movie character from a description of their death, the best way to die, what happens to robots when they meet their maker, and general impossibilities in the world of fiction.

Extra long episode, but that's okay because I cheated you on the last one. I feel like we barely scratched the surface of this topic - we are going to have to come back to these again. The crew talks about dystopian future scenarios (X-men: Days of Future Past, Children of Men, Final Fantasy 7, 1984, etc), and what the substantial difference is between post-apocalyptic and simply dystopian worlds. Additional topics: video games whose premise sounds terrible but are actually good, and some of the saddest moments in video games.

Isaac and Caine are fighting, and as a result Isaac has created a replacement best friend - the fantastic Caine 2! Return of Caine! The Revenge! Bigger and Blacker! I couldn't settle for just one tag line. In this episode: Sequels - what makes them good and what makes them shit, remakes, one hit wonders, and roles we hope for our hero Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
