This week Caitlin really comes through with a show you've never heard of, but won't be able to stop talking about, Netflix's Danish supernatural mystery Equinox. Lots to say about this one. We also discuss anti-maskers in the wild, a rare instance of a trailer amping us up, and all the things we've been passing our time with. We're taking next week off but we'll be back on or around April 13th. Have a great Easter Weekend, friends! Keep up with us between episodes on Twitter: twitter.com/geekdownpod If you'd like to support the show financially, you can buy us a coffee at ko-fi.com/geekdownpod, but we'd really prefer you instead donate to organizations like the Asian Canadian Benevolent Society for the Elderly (acbaglobal.org/) the Chinatown Foundation (www.chinatownfoundation.org/), or any local org working to end Asian hate in your community.
