0:00.0	We're showing an image on the screen right now, and there's a man slumped over the bar.
0:04.4	I've slumped over the bar in that exact scene.
0:07.4	A lot.
0:08.3	Yeah.
0:08.6	In the last 15 years. Hello, welcome by a fanboy MediaSplit episode 77.
0:42.3	The Fade Out.
0:43.0	My name is Connor Philpatrick, and I'm joined this month by Mike Romo.
0:46.7	Mike Romo, and it's episode 77.
0:49.0	That's good luck in some cultures.
0:50.6	That's right.
0:51.7	The year Star Wars came out, and we're taping on May the 4th.
0:54.8	So there you go.
0:55.2	The year I was born.

1:32.3	talk about it without spoiling it. So they've just left you know it. It's available. You can still
1:36.0	buy this thing. There's tons of different versions available. Mike and I both read. We had the same
1:39.9	edition of the hardcover. This is, I think this is the deluxe edition we both have. This one's out of print, but there are other additions. You can certainly buy it. I also got it on my Kindle just to have. Oh, that's cool. You can get it all over the place. We collected it in the original series when it came out back in 2014. That's right. So let's talk about so the fade out from Brubaker, Phillips, and Brightweiser came out. This
