In this week's episode, Mike and Jay talk about the passing of a comic, writer, and television producer, Harris Wittels. They also talk Parks and Rec and the winding down of the series. The conversation also goes into discussing SNL 40 and some of the behind the scenes gossip, specifically the reveal that Eddie Murphy was set to come back in a sketch that might have broken the Internet. There is also a lament at the possibilities of the ill-fated Beverly Hills Cop television show, as it was to be run by Shawn Ryan, the creator and showrunner on many quality shows. The two also react to the news that District 9 and Chappie filmmaker Neill Blomkamp is signed to helm the new Alien movie, scheduled to follow Prometheus 2. More Marvel Cinematic Universe talk abounds this week as well, and then some new game talk. Mike talks of his disappointment in Ryse; disappointment might not be the word he's looking for, perhaps it's underwhelming. He also talks about his excitement for The Order: 1886, and his frustration with how some gaming journalists seem to single out certain games with less than creative or constructive criticism.

In this week's conclusion to last week's first part episode, Mike and Jay discuss the idea of the Golden Age of Television concept that has been bandied about lately. They also discuss viewing habits and media of film and television. Podcasts also enter the fray and several are discussed,including Jay Mohr's Mohr Stories and Bret Easton Ellis's The Bret Easton Ellis Podcast. They then meander into discussions of social injustices and such. And yes, due to Jay's incompetence with setting up the microphone, it seems as if he and Mike are speaking to each other from across the room, and not across the table as they recorded. Please excuse his incompetence for this episode and the last.
