#300 Sherwood, Pachinko, The Walking Dead: Dead City, and We Might Regret This. With guest James Graham 1:56:12

16m ago1:56:12

1:56:12

We made it! 300 episodes (not counting the many episodes of Pilot+ or the spoiler specials) feels like quite the milestone, even if we weren’t able to do a live show because James has tickets to see Taylor Swift. He did manage to drag himself away from Eras Tour prep (those friendship bracelets don’t make themselves) to drop in and join Boyd and Ka…

1M ago1:26:33

1:26:33

Allright, so in the middle of summer, and what better way to fight the summer heat than to have a cold one and talk about tech, right?

2M ago1:15:01

1:15:01

Most films and TV shows are shot entirely out of sequence, so we went full Method on this week’s podcast and decided to record the entire show out of sequence to see what it’s like (and because we had an appointment with Rapman, but that’s another story).
