Opportune June comes to a close with another reco revist, this time of Amazon's space opera The Expanse and the stylish horror adventure-comedy Blood Blockade Battlefront. Spoilers: we loved these the first time, we still love them, but we'll tell you why. Also this ep: Last week's Miles Morales as Thor debacle from Marvel Comics, Obi-Wan limps to its conclusion, and all the things we've been checking out including some recently wrapped anime, Coffee & Vanilla, Star Trek Brave New Worlds and more. We'll be off until August, friends! Thanks so much for listening, we say it every episode but it truly means the world to us. As always, get at us between episodes at twitter.com/geekdownpod. Donations are always welcome at ko-fi.com/geekdownpod, but we would also be happy if you considered giving that money to an abortion fund.
