Geek SaladEpisode 205: Wendy & Marvin - The Animated Series (part 1)In 1992, DC decided to let Paul Dini, Bruce Timm, and Mitch Brian give the television audience a Batman animated series unlike anything that had ever come before. It was stylistic, it was serious, and it cast Luke Skywalker as the Joker. In short, it was brilliant!

Fight With Mike!Psychopass Season 1Fresh out of the Nerd Lab! Mike’s anime education continues with Psychopass (Season 1), a surprisingly (to Mike anyway) sophisticated piece of dystopian science fiction that incorporates threads from several inspirations in the genre. Also, they discuss the apparent inability in this future to fake eyelids on human-like cyborgs. So far, Mike’s trip through anime has been a mixed bag. How will Psychopass hold up for old man Mike?
