It sounds like a recipe for disaster: an American comedy episode featured entirely on a computer screen. No, we're not exaggerating - 100% on a computer screen.

Join the journey of the Modern Family as disaster strikes, and all Clare has at her disposal is a laptop at an airport. If you haven't seen this one, we're pretty sure it'll surprise you. It surprised us.

Good story: Nope

Interesting topic: Nope

Good morals: None

Fight scenes: Nah

How did such an amazing series take a turn for the worst? Aang shows his leadership as the world’s greatest leader by lying to a bunch of inbred barbarians and nerds.

You won’t find redemption here, but Nathan and Dave will put this episode through the meat grinder and find out what comes out the other side.

Part two of our musical medical series, Nathan and Dave dive into Scrubs S6 E6, My Musical.

After the nightmare that was Grey’s Anatomy, will this episode be the bane of this exemplar comedy, or a shining bastion of what it means to make a musical episode?

Is it possible for a musical episode to be good?

Ok I’ll tell you. You twisted my arm. It’s good. It’s really bloody damn good.

Dave and Nathan are joined by singer/songwriter Meri Amber to answer the question on everyone's mind: why are they singing in the hospital?

It couldn't be more fitting that this episode starts with a car crash, because when your coworker is wheeled into your workplace with brain trauma the last thing you expect is awkward singing and workplace gossip.

We tear this shambles a new one and try to find joy in this hospitals' treatment.

They know the future of the planet Earth is at stake. Andriods will attack in just a few days, and all that stands between them and utter destruction is the Dragon Ball Z warriors.

They need to train, they need to get stronger, they need to prepare… but instead they head off for a driving test.

Nathan and Dave walk us down this confusing road of hovercars, procrastination and why you need a car when you can literally fly.

The year 2000. Moldy and Stinky are called out to a VR gaming company to investigate a murder. The murderer? Misogyny, and a lady who hides in the computer.

It's pretty weird, not going to lie.

Join Nathan and Dave as they enter the world wide web; the information superhighway and track this cold blooded digital killer.

And trust us: it doesn't make a lick of sense.
