This week we recorded live, in front of a patio audience, at Bottoms Up, a pub just down the road from the Michigan Renaissance Festival. This episode is a little different from others. You get several guests who have been long time performers at the Michigan Renaissance Festival telling some of their favorite stories and what it’s like to be a ren faire performer. We also talk some nerd news. HUGE thank yous to everyone that took the time to come on the show and talk to us, as well as all the fans.

It’s good to be able to laugh at your own mistakes, like doing the show for 20 minutes and then realizing that you didn’t actually hit record.  This week we are joined by special guest, and long time listener, Dr. Ed Rohn.  We discuss the Henry Cavill/Superman rumors.  We also talk about the now live DC Universe streaming service and some of the upcoming shows.  We touch on the new anime from the writer and director team of Avatar: The Last Airbender that just premiered on Netflix; The Dragon Prince.  And as nerds do when we get together and drink, we ramble through a bunch of other nerdy topics.

Hey everyone.  Episode 90 has been published and should be available in just a short while.

This week we get into a subject we realized has been lacking on our show, technology.  We talk about some of the new cell phones and phablets coming out soon.  We discuss the updates to the Chris Hardwick and James Gunn stories.  We also talk about the trailers for upcoming movies and TV shows that have come out in the last week.  As usual there is also the usual side tracks, shenanigans, and booze.

We went a little long on this episode. Part of the reason for that was the we have our first guest in quite a while on this episode. We talk about how the NY Times dropped a spoiler for the Gotham Wedding. We discuss Luke Cage season two (no spoilers) and the MCU TV shows. We discuss whether or not a lightsaber could cut through Captain America’s shield. Then we finish the show off with our latest super powered smackdown, the sidekicks.
