This week we watched an episode of the super-powered Disney+ comedy Extraordinary,  an adult comedy set in a world where everyone gains a special ability when they reach adulthood - except our protagonist Jen. 

In Personal Projects we discuss our experiences playing horror tabletop RPG Shiver, Sam has watched half of Baz Luhrmann's Oscar nominee Elvis & Lewis has watched disappointing Netflix Scifi Vesper.

Sam also gives some quick spoiler-free thoughts on the third episode of HBO's The Last Of Us, we discuss Lewis' recent Black Flag gig & Doctor Who's new Disney funding.
