This week, Chris is in London, so he and Eddy met at a pub and recorded a podcast while in the same room. They talk about... well, a lot of things, really. Darker Hue Discord: https://discord.gg/cSbcdwQaKD

We wrap up the first half of our season covering Blade Runner and friends with the most Blade-Runner-iest show so far (which is weird considering it's for a different Philip K. Dick story), TOTAL RECALL 2070. Then we give up on that and just do an overall wrap-up. Darker Hue Discord: https://discord.gg/cSbcdwQaKD

Darker Hue Discord: https://discord.gg/cSbcdwQaKD Note: Eddy and Chris were able to source a subtitled version of the next movie! So when they say they'll cover the dubbed version, they're wrong -- they'll cover the subtitled version.

A very sleepy Chris and a less sleepy Eddy are back talking about Sherlock Holmes, and the absolute best Holmes actor of all time: Jeremy Brett. Prepare for a long one, as they both really love this show! HEADS UP: Eddy says the next episode will cover "Sherlock Holmes and the Incident in Victoria Falls." That's wrong. It's the other set of movies with Christopher Lee as Holmes: "Sherlock Holmes and the Leading Lady." Don't worry -- all four movies are equally forgettable.
