This week we're saving the world AND simulating it all in one show!  First, hear our interview with the director and writer of the Amazon Original Movie, Bliss, Mike Cahill!  He'll talk about how he came up with the idea, how simulation theory is his jam, putting Salma Hayek and Owen Wilson in a movie together for the first time and so much more.  Plus, find out if he thinks the Brain Box should exist in the real world.  WATCH BLISS NOW ON AMAZON PRIME VIDEO!
Then it's time to save the world...poorly.  Craig McCracken joins us to talk about his latest animated creation, Kid Cosmic, for Netflix!  He talks about his imperfect childhood hero, forming his team in a small town, his unique alien villains and the overall fun of the show.  We also ask him if this is something adults would enjoy too.  ALL EPISODES OF KID COSMIC ARE NOW STREAMING ON NETFLIX!
We also talk about Ryan Coogler inking an exclusive deal with Disney, The Nevers and Justice Society: World War II trailers, The CW renewing almost everything and a couple of fun comic book stories.  Just for fun, we'll throw in some Sonic talk as well!
