This week, The Reverend Matt is Divergent...or drinks some sort of death elixir or something. Meanwhile, Quintin has the powers of small children in The Powerpuff Girls: Defenders of Townsville.

There's some talk about Bioshshock Infinite: Burial at Sea, Frozen and because we're a podcast on the internet, Facebook buying Oculus VR.

At this week's meeting, Matt has a direct message for our good friend and Netflix CEO, Reed Hastings. Then Matt and Quintin dust off the old hate train for the return of AMC's Walking Dead, disagree about The Wolf Among Us Episode 2, laugh over Batman/Superman casting and get angry over misuse of intellectual property in regard to Birth of Man: A Minecraft Film. After all that bonding, Matt realizes his discovery of Neil Gaiman's books may have ruined his previous enjoyment of Neil Gaiman adaptations. All that and...that's about it in this week's adaptation of Charles Dickens' Bubble Gum Cult: Chapter 15. Hey, this wasn't in the book!

This week, Reverend Matt and Quintin are recovering from the ad blitz during The Big Game. Matt isn't a fan of Bud Light's newest ad campaign and Quintin refuses to by the beer all these horses and puppies are peddling. And while Quintin has dug deep back into Minecraft (like he's a 12-year old), Matt goes To the Moon and thinks it's totally overrated. Not the actual moon. The game. But I mean, it's not like anything is on the moon anyway. What's there, a flag? ALL MOONS ARE DUMB.

This week, Reverend Matt and Quintin send off 2013 in list form with First Annual Stuff 'N Thangs Episode! If you're not sick of end of the year lists, this episode is probably for you! If you are, you can still hear Matt rub it in Quintin's face that he doesn't work 8-4 anymore! Alone, that's worth the price of admission. Which is free, anyway. So why are you still reading this and not listening?
