We still got a kick out of it. (Derpy Cat and the Magpie are the best!)But what with the Olympics dominating the airwaves (which we haven’t been watching) there wasn’t a lot of nerd news this week, so it was a perfect time to catch up with the Oscar Nominations. Which we also didn’t watch. It’s gotta be the state of (**waves hands at EVERYTHING**) but our motivation to watch anything new is non-existent. We’d rather watch Angel Heart and Hannibal for the umpteenth time, or Red Letter Media‘s coverage of the slasher films THAT WE’RE ALSO NOT WATCHING.This episode’s outro is a clip from Obsidian by JMHBM (formerly Beat Mekanik).It can be really easy to slip into doom and despair at the state of the world right now, but there are things you can do to help.
