David and fellow Bunkazilla contributor Lizzie Barnes are also on hand for this episode. As always, each guest brings a pop or geek culture themed topic to dissect and discuss.

Is Mulan a film people would be happy to pay extra for - on top of their current Disney+ subscription?

Finally, Lizzie takes a look at positive representations of disability in the geek culture sphere with the use of Doom Patrol's Rita Farr. Lizzie also sheds light on some the positive ways disabilities are being represented in worlds such as Dungeons & Dragons and cosplay.
