Episode 129 - Lovecraftian Minus Tentacles

WEEK IN GEEK: Andrew muses on cinematic magic of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them while Dan can't shut up about the podcast, S-Town.

INAPPROPRIATE APPROPRIATION: Dan and Andrew can't ignore the strange vortex created by the controversies surrounding the cultural tone-deafness of Netflix/Marvel's Iron Fist, the backlash to the live-action adaptation of Ghost in the Shell, and the recent shifty comments of Marvel's VP of Sales, David Gabriel, regarding sales and the recent surge of diversity in the Marvel Universe. What the hell is going on?
