10: Brain Frame Rate

Double digits! We did it! This episode, we talk about a ton of things, including The Beginner's Guide, Pocket Mortys, Cloverfield, The Hateful Eight, Sex Criminals, and One-Punch Man. Also, stay tuned after the end music for a dozen minutes of Marshall complaining about the Apple Pencil and being wrong about adapters (check the post-show notes below).

We had a blast discussing this stuff and hope you enjoy listening! If you do, we'd appreciate a rating on iTunes. If you'd like to chat, you can find us on Twitter at @vicarious_fm, or you can join our Slack team!
