  • I appreciate & enjoy these guys!

    I came for Severance several(?) years ago…and stayed for Black Rabbit, PLURIBUS and Fallout. Always happy to find these old friends covering shows I’m watching!

    Update: Back for more with the rewatch of The Expanse. Watched this series the first time it came out and rank it as one of the TOP Sci-fi shows ever. Thank you, thank you, thank you for encouraging me to rewatch this series by doing this pod series on it! So much more to discover about The Expanse through your excellent discussion!!
