In this iteration of the podcast, we ask if Ryan was a member of the Paw Patrols, which dog would he be? Ryan's conspiracy moment: muffins are actually three-dimensional cookies. This leads us into a discussion of physics. We talk about visual changes in Blizzard's Overwatch game. We recount our own personal weekly adventures in simulations. We talk about Marvel's weird villain Ruby Thursday. And for our main topic, we were inspired by Ryan's watching of King Kong vs Godzilla, and we wonder why we don't see more screen time for monsters in monster movies?

Happy BC Day everyone! Even if you don't live here, you're surely a British Columbian at heart. We start the podcast off with some very stirring political commentary on Alberta, British Columbia, and the upcoming Canadian federal elections. Then we talk more about our adventures in video games, all the television we watched, and the films we're into. And for a main topic, we talk about what it's like to have a Hutt as your character, or any other character with a physical limitation being a hero.
