Fourth Chair Army Invasion | Dukescussion

Growing up in the South, my family was glued to The Dukes of Hazzard every week. On the most recent episode of Nerd Lunch's Fourth Chair Army Invasion, Evan Hanson, William Bruce West, Rob Graham, and I take a good, long look at the first season, trying to figure out what holds up and what doesn’t have the sense the good Lord promised a turkey.

Dragonfly Ripple | Agent Carter

To get through the long wait before Avengers 4, David and I are rewatching the Marvel movies and some of the TV shows in more or less chronological order. Having seen Captain America die at the end of The First Avenger, we deal with the fallout of that in the two seasons of the ABC TV series, Agent Carter.

Thundarr and friends travel to San Francisco's Chinatown where they encounter an evil wizard who hires a barbarian warrior to fight Thundarr. Is the showdown everything we hoped it would be? David, Noel, and I talk that out alongside discussions of Chinese stereotypes, the appropriateness of dragons, and the best way to escape a slime pit.
