23 and Me & Upcoming Nerd Movies

We start this podcast with a discussion about 23 & Me and other ancestry/DNA reports. We talk about the way people view heritage and how history can either be instructive or it can be used as a tool of self-validation. Ali takes down a wild path of paranoia about DNA tests and finger prints. We then discuss the trailers for upcoming films we are excited about. We talk about Captain Marvel and speculate about the comic book storyline they may be adapting, break down the controversies behind Guardians of the Galaxy and Justice League with actors leaving and their fates up in the air, and talk Venom. Finally we conclude with a discussion of the first peak at Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker.
