This week, Bubble Gum Cult returns to one of its favorite pastimes: hating on The Walking Dead. But what's this? There's a NEW Walking Dead spin off, Fear the Walking Dead? Well that calls for a celebration! Since it's a show about family, we made this one a family affair, with Matt's sister Laurie joining Matt and Quintin to continually ask if the show is OK. Is it? Are you OK, Fear the Walking Dead? You look sick. Guys, I think Fear the Walking Dead is sick. 

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. Then the duo are puzzled by Limbo and Fez, Matt is puzzled about the popularity of True Detective and Quintin is puzzled about Matt's feelings about True Detective. There's some talk about Bioshshock Infinite: Burial at Sea, Frozen and because we're a podcast on the internet, Facebook buying Oculus VR. With a podcast so packed, we had to get real at the end and had a chat about hiatuses.

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.
