In this time of turmoil and changed, two heroes must emerge to rescue the masses from the harsh strike of boredom. But sometimes, prior engagements and work schedules preclude this from happening.

We offer some insight on what we've been watching to do just that, especially Tiger King. Yeah, lots of that.
So due to unforeseen scheduling conflicts, this week's episode is a solo affair. Dane tries his best to figure out what's engaging and decides to whine about depression and bloviate about politics. Also the Final Fantasy VII Remake demo came out so, like a good nerd, he talks about that.
