TW (Trigger Warning): this episode features some pretty stark discussion of depression, relating to the sad death of Robin Williams. There\'s also some fairly frank discussion - and we make our opinion pretty clear - on the continuing situaion in Ferguson, Missouri.

Episode 45...five less than fifty...wonder what we\'ll do in five episodes\' time?

For now, we welcome Emily\'s boyfriend Pete (an awesome creator in his own right), to share laughs and opinions - first on the menu is the pretty damn epic Guardians of the Galaxy, which is apparently winning over the hearts, minds and wallets of pretty much everybody! We move on to more sombre news, remembering with immense fondness the genius of Robin Williams, celebrating his life and career by listing films we really need to see again. There\'s a bit of tangential discussion about how childhood favourites change and evolve - especially when adapted into massive blockbuster movies - a little of a Muppet rant, a little semi-political PSA, and then we head out!

If you enjoyed the episode, loved Pete as much as we loved having him on, or want to tell us to stop being controversial (we may not), you can Like us on\\xa0Facebook, follow us on\\xa0Twitter, subscribe to us and review on\\xa0iTunes, or even email us, at disnerds@gmail.com - and, as always, enjoy!
