We now know why the internet was kind of going crazy after the latest Night Vale episode dropped.

It wasn't just the very on-the-nose metaphor for what veterans go through when coming back from active duty, or the blistering take on the military industrial complex, and how leaders can only convince the population that they're "winning" the war if the war never stops. No, this episode is particularly dark because Night Vale's Blood Space War involves time travel, and now some very important people are being wiped from existence.

After the recap we talked about some of the Hugo Awards nominees like Paper Girls, Saga, and Monstress. And we also talked about Avengers: Endgame. Because of course we did. (Minor spoiler about Spider-Man being in Endgame.)(But you probably already knew that).

This week's outro music is a clip from The Robots Have Spoken by TeknoAXE. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-epXefxZYIE&list=LLTLISidXZNOcw-O8EN9m4EA&index=2&t=0s
