Erin Darling is a comedian, host, actress, writer and podcaster... but I met her a looooooong time ago as a girl fresh out of college starting out in Hollywood. We play serious catch up on this episode as she hilariously takes me through the ups and downs of her dating life, stand up comedy and a little bit of magic. As the host of the podcast "V-Carded", Erin also turns the tables on me as we discuss losing my virginity!

Netflix's 'Punisher' series finally arrived and it took no prisoners! I know that we're a little late on this one but it doesn't matter... because we don't take prisoners either!

What does this mean for Daredevil, Luke Cage and the rest of the Netflix Marvel universe? Is this Microchip a better version than the comics? What about Ben Barnes and the rest of the cast? New characters, old characters... which pieces were adapted properly? And of course, what can you maybe expect in Punisher Season Two?

It's my pleasure to introduce the Geekscapists to Lauren and Katie of the K-Lo Sketch Show! I've been saying it for a long time Lauren and Katie are the two funniest people I know... and they're also the most driven. Every month, they put on a brand new, 2-person improv, sketch and variety show from the ground up: the K-Lo Sketch Show! And it really is a pretty amazing show (which now regularly plays to a standing room only crowd)! On this episode, Katie, Lauren and I talk about the appeal of Macaulay Culkin, the recent eras of comedy films, Katie's 'Overwatch' habits and Lauren's past as a beauty queen and a variety of Disney princesses. We also discuss the K-Lo Sketch Show's worst performance ever... and why they would do it all over again! It's gonna get low, low, low, low, low on a new Geekscape so enjoy!
