It's like Christmas time for us here at NerdVsWorld as the new TV season kicks off in earnest. We review some of the new shows as well as some thoughts on returning ones. Spindles reports back on this season's upcoming new games from this year's EGX event at the NEC in Birmingham. And, finally, we have a bit of an update on the Lunatics on Mars as well as thoughts on the new Ridley Scott film, The Martian.

On this week's show, Brendan and Spindles are joined by Allen Stroud, Writer, Musician, Fellow Podcaster and New Media lecturer.
Following on from some excellent panels at this year's Nine Worlds convention, we talk about the past, present and future of New Media. We also discuss Netflix's recent decision not to renew their contract with Epix and the possible ramifications.
Be warned, it is quite a long episode this week, hence the late release.
