Common Side Effects
Tonight on GeekNights, we review Common Side Effects. It's got a lot going on and is worth watching: it's only 10 episodes and evokes aspects of Fargo TV. In the news, Ghost in the Shell continues to be fantastic as it follows the original manga, Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia is phenomenal, and Goodbye, Lara is absolutely worth watch as a re-take on The Little Mermaid. Also, the discourse around Anime NYC's photography policy.

Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake
Tonight on GeekNights, we consider Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake.

It's also deeply metacontextual.
