This unusual episode features a raw and largely unedited discussion about life's lack of meaning, the futility of a positive outlook, and recognizing your flaws and shortcomings. And if you hang out until the end, Pete gives us a lovely story about his habits, post-coitus. It's quite a ride.

Pete and Dane examine their tendency for negativity, in a discussion about the nature of review and critique. Also, Pete's just nuts about a new character.

This week, the guys, coming off the back of E3, have a few thoughts on the nature of hype. Elsewhere, there are some arguments about Pokemon and console naming conventions. Also, Pete has some things to say about Danny Rand's haircut.

This week, Dane and Pete have some thoughts on a book they finished together. The Freakonomics guys provide a fantastic collection of articles with When to Rob a Bank. From orange juice and shrimp to education and law enforcement, it's quite the ride. And what's that Dane said about prostitution? We're hitting the books so you don't have to!

The guys discuss some of their favorite post-apocalyptic media (and totally miss their chance to bring up Wall-E). Pete has flashbacks of his childhood, and Dane gushes about Nier: Automata for a while again.

Pete and Dane kick it off with a basic intro of what you can expect from the episodes, then discuss a foray into Pathfinder. There's a touch of horror in the sound of Hush, a lot of hype for the Netflix Marvel series', and Dane goes off on existentialism in NieR: Automata. A rousing start!
