This week on the show, we examine if Netflix's latest offering "Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts" can stand out in a crowded field of stellar all-ages animated fare (38:15).

We also get the secret origins of Cait and Senior Correspondent (4:50), trip planning at home and abroad, (7:46) and updates on what we've been checking out, which this time are books! Can you even believe it?

Next week! Geekdown Comic Club is up, we'll be reading Ex Machina by Brian K. Vaughan and Tony Harris, and Skyward by Joe Henderson and Lee Garbett.
