The Shakedown: Recent Episodes
Dark Nebula Entertainment
Just 3 best friends talking about geekdom, entertainment, and sports. There's a little something for everyone. Hosted by Austin Stephens, Dan Schweizer, and Dylan Webster
To celebrate 30 years of Watchmen, the guys spend episode 30 analyzing and talking about it in all its forms. Then a Week 5 football talk and prediction that Dylan nails. Also, this is sadly our last episode before we take a hiatus. Thank you all for your support.
A whole lot of talkin' about a whole lot of nothin'. Not really, it's a lot of somethin', we just don't know what. I think it's Spencer & Locke, DCEU, Game of Thrones, and some Chicago Bears to round it out. If you're here for Dylan, sorry, he's busy working, like a chump. 3:28 - Geekdom 9:17 - Film & TV 1:05:05 - Sports

Things get a little crazy when robot dinosaurs start prowling the Earth. But it's your job to hunt them down in Horizon: Zero Dawn. It's also your job to watch the amazing new show, Legion, on FX.
