Mike & Nik do a pre-Halloween catch-up in Part 1 of what will assuredly be a recurring series on some of the new nerd shows that have come out in the past couple months - Sandman (Netflix), Rings of Power (Amazon), and Andor (Disney+). They also get into what it means to be a fan of something, how “deconstruction is sophomoric” and how they really REALLY want to like the new things that are part of their fandoms. 

*WARNINGS* :

1. Spoilers. 2. Also - there is some weird clicking in the background from about 10:23 - 12:45 so if you are sensitive to certain sounds, be aware, skip forward, and apologies.
