This week's clickbait lets Adam ramble about George RR Martin, Ing and Avi ramble about Dragonball Z, and all of us cringe in horror at the most embarrassing cryptocurrency-related video ever made, which is saying something. Also for some reason we talk about what would have happened if Robin Williams was in Watchmen?

This time out me and Ing are joined officially, for the first time, by Avi. We discuss Cracked.com, which is one of the central influences on modern-day internet clickbait, in a show recorded shortly after the website had abruptly let go a shocking number of its team, including most of its best writers and biggest personalities. Along the way, as usual, we get diverted into a host of topics including Game of Thrones, The Phantom of the Opera, animation, Return to Oz, and those "everything wrong with" videos, and we decide this podcast is all about the tangents.
