It's a good old fashioned World Transformed Geekout as Phil explains how shows like Vikings and The Frankenstein Chronicles are blending history and fantasy in a new and fun way. (UPDATE: and you can add the new AMC series The Terror to that list.)

Meanwhile, Stephen has thoughts on how the movie Ready Player One is completely different from the novel -- and why that's okay.

Plus Phil recommends the new Starz series Counterpart, which is NOT (unfortunately) currently available on Amazon Prime as Phil says on the show --unless you have the Starz app. [Of course, you could do the one-week free trial and binge watch the show, but we would never recommend that people do anything like that.]

BONUS: Stephen says you totally CAN watch Blade Runner 2049 on Amazon Prime -- so there is that.
