Hello and welcome to colorsors of the Dark.

0:21.1

I'm your host, Rebecca McKendry.

0:22.7

With me is Elric Kane.

0:24.9

How are you doing tonight?

0:26.5

I am not happy.

0:28.0

What's wrong?

0:29.2

I am upset that we are recording this show because right the second,

0:34.3

I could be watching the new episode of Alien Earth.

0:36.6

Oh my God, so I'm going to kick off with that one too. It's airing right now. I know. And I kept looking at the time going, wait, what day, what day? When's the next episode?
