Deep Fakes, Retail Robot Armies, the Joker, and more

In this week’s news show, Steve and Ken give their thoughts on some of the major topics in the nerd community. Steve is enjoying Carnival Row and Ken is creeped out by Dark Crystal.  They talk over the World of Warcraft classic release and the hype surrounding the Joker movie. They have a discussion around the new army of Robots being rolled out by Walmart and the fact that the worst thing about robots is humans.  Finally they share their thoughts on deep fakes and how they scare the hell out of us.
