- Welcome to Episode 58: Blink Daggers and Bucket Lists
- This week's Geek Question of the Day is: What real-world locations are on your bucket lists to visit, and what are the nerdy reasons for wanting to see it? Shire and Endor and Greece, oh my!
- In our Roll for Credits segment, we review the 2-hour cut scene, er, I mean 2016 mo-capped animated movie, Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV! We admit it was much better than expected. Even animated, Sean Bean always dies! Oh, and blink daggers FTW!
- We go into kind of a deep dive on Mass Effect which we both have been playing lately.
- And as always, geekery, video games, and chickens.

- Welcome to Episode 57: Jupiter Ascending and Space Legolas!
- This week's Geek Question of the Day is a two parter: 1) If you could combine two animals together to create your own new species what would it be and why? 2) If you could create a human/animal hybrid, which animal would you pick and what features of the animal would the human hybrid have?
- In our Roll for Credits segment, we review the 2015 Wachowski sci-fi romp, Jupiter Ascending starring Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis! Goes to show you that two A-list actors cannot save a film. But hey! Sean Bean didn't die in the movie! Bonus!
