Digital Dissection: A Nerd Podcast

Joe and Mark head back to mega city 1 for a chance to see just how well they remember the Sylvester Stallone film.   What has largely been lumped into forgotten action movie history is a film that has some surprisingly well fleshed out aspects of the 2000 AD universe.   Does it all work?  That is for you to decide -- you be the JUDGE.   Music Credits: "Pixel Peeker Polka - Faster" Written and performed by: Kevin MacLeod

Join Joe and Mark for one last-ish ride in the Impala for a deep dive analyzing the CW's longest running series.

Due to the sexual content of this episode it may not be suitable for all audiences, viewer discretion is advised.   Welcome to Side Stitches! An addition to Digital Dissection: A Nerd Podcast These episodes are generally much shorter than our usual ones and cover things that we wanted to have in our main episodes, but didn't quite have enough time to include. In this episode of Side Stitches, Mark and Joe talk about a few more properties that explore the friskier side of human/android relationships. Some of them stay on track with the evolution of this trope, meanwhile others take steps backward, and one stands all by itself to tell its viewers that A.I. is no substitute for genuine human companionship.  Music Credit: "Pixel Polka - faster" Written and performed by Kevin MacLeod
