We're back as Melinda Barkhouse and Gerald Glassford get you up to speed on the Post-Thanksgiving episode of the PCC Multiverse as Gerald goes into a "nerd cry" upon hearing the news that two of his favorite IP's, Mass Effect and Blade Runner (along with Alien), could finally be getting some well-deserved television adaptations that have been a long time coming. Melinda and her husband Robbie Ross chime in with thoughts on Cowboy Bebop on Netflix and if it rises above all the controversy surrounding the program. Plus Gerald has initial impressions of Hawkeye episodes 1 and 2 on Disney+, and the crew discusses the latest movies to hit theaters in Disney's latest animated feature Encanto, the divisive House of Gucci, and the critical darling Licorice Pizza. Plus Melinda has a great interview with Martin and Katie from Game Machinery talking about their breakout tabletop RPG Defiant which has already gained notice from its highly successful Kickstarter campaign. All this and our Holiday Gift Guide on tap with ideas for the aspiring podcaster or streamer, avid gamer, and more on our latest PCC multiverse!
