Current things! Less than a year old and everthing!</p> <p>First up we&#39;re recapping the fourth episode of <em>Good Omens</em> season 2, a story filled with magic, zombie nazis, terrible puns, and a <em>lot</em> of padding. (Good lord that scene in the magic shop went on <em>forever.</em>)</p> <p>Then Elizabeth briefly touches on the <em>Black Mirror</em> episode &quot;Demon 79, which may actually be her favorite of the whole season (it&#39;s either that or &quot;Mazey Day,&quot; and Demon 79 is better at punching you in the heart) and then Kathryn discusses episode 6 of the <em>Mandalorian</em> season three, which is also a bit of a placeholder but it has lots of droids and that&#39;s always fun.</p> <p>Finally we finish up by going over everything we know about this year&#39;s Burning Man, because we love us a convention/festival disaster story. We&#39;re glad everyone got to go home, we&#39;re sorry someone died (mostly likely not from Ebola) and we look forward to the eventual documentary. For that and for the &quot;upcoming&quot; Fyre Festival 2, because dear lord people why are you still giving that guy money?</p> <p>This week&#39;s outro is a clip from <a href="https://freemusicarchive.org/music/darkfluxx/single/a-step-closermp3/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A Step Closer</a> by Darkfluxx.</p> <p>Looking for a present for that hard-to-shop-for person?
