GNG 51 - Only the freshest produce
John, Matt and Yukon Gold ask the question - when did Apple start making excellent shows and movies? Apple have two very strong shows in Constallation and Foundation which have overwhelmingly impressed John (a task thought impossible by most). They also talk about the classic Starship Troopers, The Last Airbender and movies and shows that left us wanting more as well as The Bad Batch.
