Also, as you expect, we make a detour into talking about The Venture Bros and David Bowie. Featuring Franklin!

Neil and Steve discuss if Marilyn Manson looks like a fat Nicolas Cage (spoiler - he does!). We also talk about what the hell was going on in the first two seasons of Westworld, the differences between the show and the movie, and whether it's worth getting into a show that requires diagrams and youtube videos to understand.

Neil and Chris discuss Assassin's Creed, a franchise so old it can probably play it's own games now. It still might need parental permission to watch the movie adaptation, but honestly, it doesn't need to. No one needs to.
