Ready your fidget spinners and alert the Justice Bears, because Walt and Annie are finding the happy medium between the contemplative, optimistic sci-fi of Contact and the grim, gritty Idris Elba-ness of Luther. Episode 30 features thrills, chills, and a shocking second-in-a-row appearance from Matthew McConaughey, who this time around we can all agree is just the worst. Check us out on iTunes, Soundcloud, and Stitcher for our thoughts on 90s-era action, guys with baseball bats, and a surprisingly positive crossover resolution for one of TV’s greatest anti-heroes.
