The Dive Down

It's time for the boys to whip back into action with their new best friend: Rose Belmont. We talk the vibe, the play, the pros, the cons of the latest Metroidvania — Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse. But first, enjoy a quick diversion on Goodfellas and Nathan Fielder’s You Can See Everything.

This week Dave, Stan, and friend of the show Adam Burke tackle the burning questions of our time. Is a hot dog a sandwich? Should you pee in the shower? Which is the best way to hang toilet paper? Is there a god? Ok -- not that one. But we have a great time getting angry with Stan about his casual littering.

Stan takes a quick break with a psychic/medium and sees life a little different now. Shane has found a new media to obsess over — the oldest media: books! — and has thoughts on eReaders. Dave abides.
