Matt and Jeff Live from the Forbidden Planet NYC Basement
Some goofs on our first take. The store’s wi-fi cut out for about five minutes, thus making us late for the 4pm Hangout On Air. We missed a chance to have a prominent celebrity customer join us because of the delay in setting back up, and I still have a lot to learn about the [...]

Immediately blown [...]
