The guys are back! Matt discusses a new approach he's taking to his thesis and they talk about how long they let their ideas gestate and dive a little further into the evolution of their stories from that initial idea to the final product. To their surprise, each of this week's stories call back to worlds created in previous episodes.

This was a fun one.
