   S7 E5 - Grumpy Old Moon Man

   Dave hates science and exploration, apparently. Also in this episode: Rick challenges Dave to reduce his screen-time for just one week. Can he do it? (Spoiler alert: No.) Also also in the episode: A pretty big surprise for fans of one of our earlier podcasts. And, finally, here's the link to Dave's stand-up comedy debut! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yc9ZE0WIvs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yc9ZE0WIvs)

   S7 E4 - Wall, Eeeeeee!

   Rick wants to talk about his most prized possession. Hint: It's wall-related. Dave's is... shocker... Star Trek-related. Also on the docket: Apple's new AirTags and our reviews of four -- count 'em, four! -- movies that don't feature a superhero, a Vulcan, or a Will Smith. (One might have an alien, though.)

   S7 E3 - TV Guide (But Not That One)

   Rick has a pretty hot take on modern TVs, and it's so smart he almost convinces Dave he's right. Meanwhile, Dave reviews the cult fave "Dungeon Crawler Carl," and we dive into some crazy-cool new tech: exo-skeletons and digital art frames.
