Breaking down the Universes... all of them... one at a time.
Join us as we delve too greedily and too deep into all sorts of Universes, from Star Wars to Monty Python, from Narnia to Christmas classics.
There's something here for everyone (mostly our fellow nerds), and if you don't care about the main topic, tune in to the Fortnightly Unfiltered Conversation and Knowledge Sessions, recorded Fortnightly (it's in the name).
