Sci-Fi: We watch the latest animated Short Trek episode and Steven has an epiphany while he and Ben discuss it. It’s a lot more than Moana meets The Abyss. We then talk about Watchmen episode 8 (episode 9 had not released at the time of recording) and what it all means. We end the episode with some VR talk, as Steven recently received an Oculus Rift S for his birthday.
