With any conversation that features numerous people sometimes parts of the conversation don’t make the final cut for the show. Instead of forever losing those (hopefully) interesting tangents we decided to post smaller, bite size podcasts to keep you going between our larger episodes. Here is our first one. We wanted to call it random tangents but we also wanted to have at least a few of you listen to it so instead we went with the name SideChat. Hope you enjoy.

Kyle leads a conversation on Star Trek coming (back) to Universal Studios, Godzilla and Nick get in on the action, then we ended it with hopes for some Japanese zombies moving in.
