Que no te engañe la portada: Sorgio preparó unos deliciosos canelés que luego no nos dió a probar y nos dejó todo el programa encerrados en la cocina con un olor que alimentaba. En la cocina hablamos como es habitual de los servicios de suscripción a los que estamos apuntados, como por ejemplo: Los estrenos de Netflix, Godless, The Punisher, The Sinner... Los pilotos de Amazon Prime Video: Love you more, Sea Oak y The Climb. Miguel se queja fuertemente de Star Wars Battlefront 2 y como EA está arruinando nuestras experiencias lúdicas Eloi nos explica los juegos Android que lo están petando y lo petarán: South Park Phone Destroyer, Animal Crossing y lo que viene. Esperamos que en el siguiente programa podamos hacer una crítica sobre las dotes culinarias de Sorgio y valorar sus canelés.

This week we give our spoiler free take on the amazing Amazon pilot "Sea Oak". We also get into a rare (for us) conversation about Iron Maiden and Metallica and find that we love talking music as much as we love talking Movies and TV. Plus we talk about Rian Johnson's new Star Wars trilogy, "Mayhem" starring Steven Yeung, "The Babysitter", "Happy Death Day", and more. The second part of our show we give our takes on the movie industry and if it's time for some new blood in Hollywood. Has Hollywood ran out of ideas? And now the formalities: Subscribe to our show on iTunes, Stitcher, GooglePlay, or wherever podcasts are heard. We're trying to bring it, folks. What do you think so far? We'd be most appreciative if you'd let us know.
