In this episode, we have a chat with one of our international listeners and supporters, Kelly Walters from Toronto, Canada! We were deeply curious about how the current state of the U.S. is viewed by Canadians as well as how their political system compares. Kelly is also a belly dancer and tells all about her experience and projects!

Just when you thought a nostalgic chapter in our lives had come to a close, here comes Jason Reitman with a surprise announcement of a direct sequel to the original Ghostbusters movies with no mention at all of the 2016 reboot. We talk about what we know of the forthcoming movie as well one particular response to its announcement. You probably know the one we're talking about. Also, Eric has us try a couple of items he found at the Asian market, Lotus Root and Jackfruit.

Tina and I went to see Bumblebee. It really should have been the first Transformers movie. Hear us explain why. Also, season 2 of The Orville premiered in December 2018, and not wanting to miss a chance to talk about The Orville, we discuss it. Dan just started watching it recently and he renders his verdict.

Eric returns for his first episode of 2019. We talk about the early celebrity deaths the year has had so far, and changes we'd like to make for the new year. Chris opens up about his rediscovery of his favorite band, Oasis. Tina tells all about the Teen Titans Go! figures she ordered from Wish and her new-found hobby, Pokemon Go! Tina is doing all the Go! stuff.

This was originally going to be Patreon material. This is the second part of our discussion from Episode #89. We get a bit more political in this episode, and talk about New Year's goals, but most importantly, we get to enjoy the Cadbury Wunderbars that our good friend Kelly in Canada sent us!

There really is no better way to say it. The cast of TNBP is PROUD to say 'Fuck you, 2018!'. Last year, with some notable exceptions, was pretty much a shit show for all of us. But we're back for 2019 doing what we love to do; talk about the stuff we're passionate about, and generally bitch and moan. Happy New Year!

The moment you've all been waiting for is finally here. Chris and Tina were officially sorted live in this episode. Dan and Melissa each read the questions from the official Pottermore sorting quiz to Chris and Tina respectively. Hear their answers and their results in this glorious episode of TNBP!

Where is Gilbert Gottfried? Seriously. And look, nothing in the writing of Rick & Morty has anything to do with E. B. White, okay? Now that that's out of the way, Chris and Dan throw down about Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. Which one do you like better?

We have not yet seen The Crimes of Grindenwold, but the word on the street is not good. We talk about the grand Wookiee holiday of Life Day before discussing She-Ra and The Princesses of Power. We then learn the truth about the "biopic" Bohemian Rhapsody.

In this episode, Chris and Dan have a chat with Thunder Talk's new contributors Beth & Kawika Ah Lo. Beth and Kawika are from Oklahoma, and we used the magic of the internet to breach the distance and talk about gaming and geekery.
