The Optimism Club Vol. 35 (Bear Home Alone)

Andy convinced himself that The Superior Spiderman's premise was too stupid to continue to read every week.  Steve hopes GTA 5 will give him new opportunities to practice begin a psychopath.  The hosts then wonder what would have happened if they ran in to a bear in the woods during their up-north vacation.  This leads to plans for a Home Alone-like situation with bears instead of burglars.  For those of you who were born after 1995, we describe the modern day gold rush that was Pokemon card shopping back in the day.  Steve reviews Low Winter Sun, the new AMC show.  He didn't like it that much.  Tas, sorry we didn't talk more about the Walking Dead in this episode.
