I was pretty sure this would be a "skip", but sometimes the best episodes are when Ben and Matt just talk about higher education, beer, and the first plans for what became the most painful series of the show.

This guide entry contains spoilers for:
  • Star Trek Into Darkness

Opening

1:33 Matt says he and Ben graduated together from Northwestern this past May. We walked hand in hand in our gowns.

Ben will finish his ThM (Masters of Theology) in the spring.

9:07 I don't know if people know this, but I don't drink alcohol, and Ben is basically a huge drunk most days.

Ben's favorite beer is Guinness.

Why do so many Christians not drink? It's pretty easy to read verses like Proverbs 23:31 (do not look at red wine) and Ephesians 5:18 (do not get drunk with wine) and believe it's wrong. That's how I was always taught, although I personally now think drinking is OK.

Main Topic

Ben is going to restart the Game of Thrones video reviews.

24:39 Matt wants to record 100 episodes in Season 3. I can't record two a week, so think of how much Koby you're going to have to have in there. Bad idea.

Matt wants to do "some sort of X-Files retrospective". Don't do it!

Matt thinks Breaking Bad might be his favorite show ever.
