This week Travis is joined once again by Ace aka Ash to discuss 1965's Dr. Who and the Daleks.

Also, does it being a musical have…

This week, Norm from 2 Nerds 1 Quest is back. He's never seen any of the Friday the 13th movies before. In fact, he hasn't even seen clips of them.

Cunningham, and staring Betsy Pal…

Steve and Travis talk about…
