- This week's Geek Question of the Day is: Who is your favorite underpowered/no-powered superhero and why? The stream chat came up with some great ones, but they weren't our favorites. Come hear ours and let us know on twitter who your favorites are!
- In our Roll for Credits segment, we review the 2014 fantasy adventure, Seventh Son, starring Jeff Bridges, Juliette Moore, and Alicia Vikander!

- This week's Geek Question of the Day is: If you could be the financial backer for the remake of your favorite childhood game, and you spare no expense, what game would you choose and how would you modernize it? Connor predictably goes Pokemon... but Sean comes from WAY out in left field to create a professional league from an old family game from his childhood!
- In our Roll for Credits segment, we spend time with the 2016 dark comedy, Colossal with Anne Hathaway and Jason Sudeikis! Definitely more dark than comedy, but a really cool movie! Was really impressed with Jason's work on this one!
- And as always, geekery, video games, and chickens.

- This week's Geek Question of the Day is: What myths or legends were you fascinated or obsessed with as a kid growing up, and why? Connor loves him some legend, particularly Arthurian legend, while Sean was more obsessed with historical mysteries than legends. Still, was a fun topic to explore.
- In our Roll for Credits segment, we go back and revisit one of our family-favorite animated movies, Disney's 2001 Atlantis: The Lost Empire! We reminisced about all the funny lines that we still say 20 years later. It was a much more emotional and nostalgic experience for Sean though. Listen in to hear why!
- Thanks to an online timer, we actually kept this episode to a respectable time limit!
- And as always, geekery, video games, and chickens.
