This week, James returns from his travels to discuss Hot People Management Simulator (also known as Dispatch). Join us as we find out if he made good choices, and ask hard hitting questions like:

Why are the writers such cowards?

What is a girlfailure?

Did Thatcher Ruin Pegging?

This week, the Forecasters discuss Frankenstein, which James has only seen 2 hours before we recorded! Join us as we catch Nick up with the very first sci-fi novel and check in on how the fanfic world has interpreted the iconic characters.

Seriously though, Del Toro is a genius but theres no way that works as a water tower.

James is currently travelling and we likely won't get time to record another episode, so I recommend following our YouTube channel as we played some games and will upload that next time, see you there!
