WEEK IN GEEK: Andrew builds a new gaming PC while Dan plays Batman: The Telltale Series - "Episode 1: Realm of Shadows." SPOILERS REDUX AND DMCA C&D: Dan and Andrew's discussion was initiated by a post over at the AV Club that covered an instance where major television network, AMC, issued a cease and desist order to a Walking Dead fan site, The Spoiling Dead Fans, when they started listing potential spoilers to the next season's premier. It's a broad topic that is hard to talk about (and, at times, infuriating), but they do their best to really take this topic apart as it relates to television shows and the networks' loyalty to their paying advertisers. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ANDREW! Leave your thoughts as comments at ForAllIntents.net or at the official Facebook and/or Google+ pages. To help the show out, please leave a review on the iTunes store.

WEEK IN GEEK: Andrew recovers from his serious bout of time-travel last week by watching Wil Wheaton's tabletop adventure, Titansgrave: The Ashes of Volkana while Dan finds room on the bandwagon to jump on and start watching Netflix's Stranger Things. SELF-FULFILLING PROPHECY?: Even though DC/Warner Bros.' Suicide Squad only hit theaters today, audiences at premier screenings have been walking away less than happy, possibly sounding a cloister bell for the cinematic universe they've been trying to build since Man of Steel. Dan and Andrew investigate how the fate of this movie may influence future DC/Warner Bros. entries. STATISTICS AND RHETORIC: Unintentionally hitting both Andrew and Dan's wheelhouses, they examine a controversy that surfaced on the Manfeels Park blog where the author examined the strange disparity in the language around the interpretation of box office returns for both Ghostbusters and Star Trek Beyond. Despite having similar budgets and similar opening weekend numbers, Ghostbusters was declared by some to be a disaster for Paramount, while Star Trek's similar numbers were hailed as being a great success. What is going on here? Is it intentional? Is it warranted? Is it bad or good analysis? Leave a comment about this week's topics at forallintents.net.
