This week, we skip nerd news to have a spontaneous conversation about anime, and while that doesn’t have anything to do with our topic of the week, we felt it in our hearts. The real topic is Indoor Theme Parks. Learn about the world’s longest freestanding escalator, marvel at the massive pink dome at Circus Cirus, hear Brenda talk about an obscure car-themed theme park in Flint Michigan, and much more!

"Did we almost forget to do a “Goes to the Movies” this month? Nope. While there's very little nerd news, we did watch two movies, “Detective Conan: The Phantom of Baker Street”, which is kind of like “Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase”, except if you die in the game you die for real. Also Disney/Pixar’s “Soul” a complicated film that invokes complicated emotions and probably shouldn’t have starred Tina Fey and been released during a pandemic."
