DVDs Are Better Than Streaming (w/ Mat Elfring)

Wed, 15 Nov 2023 14:48:16 GMT

Mat Elfring (I Just Wanna Talk To Friends) returns to talk about the pure joy of physical media in a streaming world.

Vegas Vacation! Kinda!

Wed, 08 Nov 2023 05:05:05 GMT

Hey there! Sadly, we have no new episode this week due to some traveling. I'm currently in Las Vegas for work. Since I'm very cool, I'm only doing things that don't include gambling and drinking. Luckily, I already know what to do since I've literally written about it!

We'll be back next week with an all new episode!
