This week Ian and Matthew talk about a 1980s TV drama about Americans working to survive a fascist takeover. There are aliens involved, so of course this is entirely science fiction. It's V, the original miniseries from 1983.

Ian and Matthew finally discuss one of Matthew's favorite novels. Conspiracies, secret histories, and an important question: Was the anti-D&D panic of the 1980s kinda sorta right in a weird way?

In 1984 Clint Eastwood and Burt Reynolds share the screen in a ... a thing. Comedy? Mystery? Drama? Violent action movie? Whatever it is, it's called CITY HEAT.

Not necessarily a "fun" film this time, but an interesting one to talk about. Matthew and Ian discuss the influential 1971 Clint Eastwood movie about a violent cop versus the rules. Does the existence of Dirty Harry imply the existence of Clean Harry?
