  Episode 205: “Night of the Living Late Show”  Simon has invented an incredible virtual reality experience that allows him to join in on his favorite films… but what happens when virtual reality becomes Simon’s actual reality? Written by: Dana Gould Directed by: Greg Nicotero Cast: Justin Long, D'Arcy Carden, Hannah Fierran   Simon has spent a long time trying to invent a special virtual reality machine, and it looks like he has finally got it to work. It looks like a tanning booth, but it’s a machine that actually will take a person’s mind into a movie. Simon’s favorite movie is “Horror Express,” and that’s exactly where goes. He quickly becomes obsessed with it, and that doesn’t sit well with his wife.   Now the tanning booth looking virtual reality machine seemed weird at first, but comes to make sense in the end. It’s interesting watching Simon interact with characters inside the movie, as he takes it like a kid in a candy shop. Besides just wanting to ...

One of the astronauts appears to be receiving all of the credit for the mission while the other is feeling the pressure to fill his dad’s astronauts boots. They seem to be hanging in there until they receive orders about a special opportunity for the astronaut getting credit for everything. The other one now has to deal with his feelings of losing out on a chance at history.   After some really good horror filled episodes it’s good to see an episode with a little sci-fi action to it. It’s not the most advanced looking ship they’re on, bu...

Bring in a vlogger and that makes it familiar to the new age of social media and marketing...
