Ben and Jared open the show by describing their less than stellar theater experience during the opening day of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Alex hasn’t seen the movie yet (she refused an invitation to see the movie with them), so for her sake they keep things spoiler-free as they give their brief thoughts on the film itself.

Later on the crew discusses their personal favorite games of 2015 in The Top Three List of the Week, followed by another edition of The Worst Thing That Happened To Us This Week and the wrap up of Alex’s Pokemon Nuzlocke Challenge in What You Been Playing Bro?.
