Due to some technical difficulties, the episode scheduled for this week isn’t ready - while we’re sorting that out, please enjoy this unreleased conversation which was originally intended to be our second episode. We’re surprised that we didn’t feel our discussion of 1984’s Night of the Comet was worth releasing at the time of recording, but here we are.
