We figured it was high time we made a proper introduction episode!  Whether you're coming back or joining us for the first time enjoy a little bit of our secret backstory on Jacob and Tony's introduction episode!

OOF.  It's a long one this week but we promise it's worth it!  The gang is together this time to talk a little bit about the dumpster fire that 2020 has been while seeing if their 2020 vision will follow them into 2021.  Tell us what you think in the comments below!  Any hope for 2021 to be a better year?  What media happened in 2020 that you want others to think?

The gang gets together this week to talk about bridging the gap between the younger generations of gamers and the older generations.  It's a big topic that eventually leads to a conversation about gatekeeping and accessibility for newer and/or younger nerds.  Anything we missed?  Let us know!  Stay tuned for our 2020 retrospective and our 2021 look ahead!  In the mean time and between time, 2077 calls.

With the final season of the CW's hit show Supernatural upon us, talk of BBC's Sherlock Holmes making a return for season five, and the return of an actor to Doctor Who, it is time to talk about SuperWhoLock.  We'll break down what it is and the impact massive fandoms like this have on the people and communities they (claim to) represent.  Enjoy!

THE TIME HAS COME!  In a wildly late episode the gang gets together to decide the fate of the universe!  Which means we decide which season/run of Power Rangers had the best theme song.  Let us know in the comments, what was YOUR favorite theme song?  For all the theme songs, check this out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebE2xAJ_Uuk

Note: We reference material we covered in Episode 53 a LOT in this episode so it is recommended that you check out that episode before viewing this one!  We are throwing it back this week with another talk on D&D and the future of one of the biggest communities in nerd history! Also in this episode we offer some sneak peeks at future episodes and some polling of the audience for what the best theme song of all time is!  Stay tuned!   Links referenced in this episode: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Dungeons_%26_Dragons_rulebooks
