So the plan was to have a quick talk about an Oscar-winning film and a debriefing on the events of last weekend. It spun out of control within the first fifteen minutes, of course.
Listen in as we go over Parasite (many many spoilers), Snowpiercer, Inception, the trailer for the upcoming Netflix Transformers series, the firing of Didio, the books we’re reading, the conventions we’re getting ready for, twitter’s dumpster fire Windblade “discussion,” and more made-up stories about our sponsor.

This week’s outro is a clip from Mirrors by Superhumanoids from their Parasite Paradise album.
Correction: the dish cooked in Parasite was called Ramdon, and it’s a real thing (combination of Ramen and Udon) and you can find the recipe and a lot of cool information about it here.
Correction the second: Windblade is Flame Toys’ first attempt at a female transformer model, they haven’t tried an Arcee. (Yet.)
Correction the third: yes there is a ton of information about lightsaber crystals and most of it seems to be perfectly canon, we should’ve checked out Wookiepedia first.
And a clarification: Kathryn mentioned needing to pick up bondo before NC Comicon in March. We probably should have mentioned it’s for the EmojiBot helmet, we went into more detail in last week’s episode.
