What we're up to this week:
Catching up on Knights of the Dinner Table (I got behind)
Found some recent Heavy Metal mags with a Donny Cates story in them
Also found a movie called All Stars (2014) about youth sports - ah, memories
Finally saw Star Trek Beyond - an okay movie with some problems
Also Robert Osborne tribute on TCM - his interviews were something that our humble show can only aspire to
