Let’s face it, the Coronavirus is on everyone’s minds so we have to get that out of the way first. (It mostly involves us saying “WASH YOUR HANDS” a lot, spreading the word on the #ECCConline hashtag, and reminding you that you can’t use expensive vodka in place of hand sanitizer. Please drink it instead.) (Vodka we mean, not hand sanitizer.)

But after that we decompress with the usual nerd news: Kathryn is enjoying Devs and James May Our Man in Japan, and Elizabeth is underwhelmed by Picard and Altered Carbon.

This week’s outro is a clip from Antiquee by Cursed. https://youtu.be/GXipIE_gGBE

There are a a lot of clever remixes of the handwashing tutorial https://hyperallergic.com/546773/handwashing-goes-viral/, but our favorite is the Dune "Litany Against Fear" version. The earliest version we can find of this was posted by Taylor R. Genovese on March 4th https://hyperallergic.com/546773/handwashing-goes-viral/, but if anyone knows the creator we'd love to give them credit.

Correction: we mentioned that Emerald City Comic Con was cancelled, it's actually been postponed to September. But as of right now you can jump on the #ECCConline hashtag on twitter to see the amazing stuff posted by artists in their online shops.

Addition: as of today, WonderCon is also postponed. https://sdccblog.com/2020/03/wondercon-anaheim-postponed-for-2020/
