In this episode of Rag-NERD-rok, we take a long look into our Netflix Instant queues to bring you the best TV shows that the service has to offer! Later, Ed presents another episode of his audio serial drama, Dead of Winter. It’s an episode full of laughter, pathos and frightening breaks with consensual reality, so take your happy pills and listen up!

(Show notes after the break.)

I. The NPR Cold Open (00:00:00)

Yeah, we don’t really know either. Alex does have a velvety smooth baritone though, doesn’t he?

II. Introduction (00:00:27)

Erik introduces the show, sans pony puns, and for once, we get straight to discussing our main topic! (Oh, hell, you should all know better than that what happened by now.) Meyer is out having his dick replaced with a can opener (or something…::shudder::), so we decide to venture forth without him. He may be gone, but his penis is here in spirit!

Why did I just write that?
