 Episode 005: Dan & Kat Talk About Ghostbusters | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:04:20

It's the 30th anniversary of one of Dan's all-time favorite films, so we've got one of the Ghostbusters fan community's pioneers -- Proton Charging's Chris Stewart -- to talk about the the history of the Boys in Gray. We trace the franchise back to its origins, play "what if" with John Belushi, learn the surprising truth about the very first GB movie poster, talk about the upcoming global viewing, reveal which famous sci-fi scribe wrote for the cartoon, and tackle the inevitable "will they or won't they" topic of Ghostbusters 3. You Must Choose returns, and Chance Fortran discovers something strange in his neighborhood.

 Episode 004: Dan & Kat Talk About Doctor Who | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:07:41

This week's show is a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey...stuff, as Kat (a Newvian) and Dan (a not-even-thatvian) get schooled in Doctor Who by superfan Susan Arendt and actual British guy Rob Smith. How did this thing turn into something every geek seems to need to watch? Is it worth revisiting the older shows? What was it like to be a fan before the modern reboot -- let alone growing up with it in England? How do you keep 40 years of continuity straight? It's half history, half cocktail-party primer for anyone who's still wondering why nobody stops this man from kidnapping women and stuffing them in a blue closet. Plus, two guests means a different approach to You Must Choose, and Chance Fortran's ship calls someone a dirty word.

Ever since he was a young boy, Bowen Kerins played the silverball...and now, he's a three-time and current reigning world pinball champion.

We also make Bowen play You Must Choose and play a role on this week's adventure with Chance Fortran, Tech Therapist.
