In this weeks episode, Lakan is once again joined by guest Jeff F. The duo discuss the first guest topic of the show; the 2022 Netflix series "The Sandman" created by Neil Gaiman. The Sandman was originally a dark fantasy/superhero/supernatural horror comic which is now brought to life for the streaming audience. How different is the show from the original comic run? Does every piece of media have to appeal to all consumers? How does this allegedly unfilmable property actually translate over to live action?

Back to the regular schedule with this episode! This week, Lakan sits down with another long time friend, also Jeff F, filling in for regular co-host Jeff K! The duo discuss Andor; one of the newer Disney+ productions within the Star Wars universe. They go over the style, writing, and themes of the show, which didn't seem to get as much attention as The Mandalorian or Obi-Wan Kenobi(at least in their respective friend circles). How would this show appeal to non-Star Wars fans? Spoiler warning as the guys go over the mini arcs within the show but won't be going into TOO much detail or else they'd have a 3 hour episode... Unless you want that.

Hello again! We have another bonus episode! 2 days in a row! Since we talked about Lakan's PAX East 2023 experience yesterday, we thought it would be a good time to have another extra episode about our general/broader convention experiences. We go over some of our convention prep, habits, and essentially make a short survival guide to conventions for everyone from first-timers to battle-hardened convention veterans. Stick around to the very end for a VERY SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!!
