TW (Trigger Warning): this episode features some pretty stark discussion of depression, relating to the sad death of Robin Williams. There's also some fairly frank discussion - and we make our opinion pretty clear - on the continuing situaion in Ferguson, Missouri.
Episode 45...five less than fifty...wonder what we'll do in five episodes' time?
For now, we welcome Emily's boyfriend Pete (an awesome creator in his own right), to
share laughs and opinions - first on the menu is the pretty damn
epic Guardians of the Galaxy, which is apparently winning over the
hearts, minds and wallets of pretty much everybody! We move on to
more sombre news, remembering with immense fondness the genius of
Robin Williams, celebrating his life and career by listing films we
really need to see again. There's a bit of tangential discussion
about how childhood favourites change and evolve - especially when
adapted into massive blockbuster movies - a little of a Muppet
rant, a little semi-political PSA, and then we head out!
If you enjoyed the episode, loved Pete as much as we loved having
him on, or want to tell us to stop being controversial (we may
not), you can Like us on Facebook,
follow us on Twitter, subscribe to us
and review on iTunes,
or even email us, at disnerds@gmail.com - and, as always,
enjoy!
