This is “You Gotta Check This Out” With Mike Slater and Dre Alvarez. Each season, we take a deep dive into one of our nerdy obsessions - giving each show, book, band, game, sport, hobby… whatever as much time as we see fit to get each other and you up to speed with something we love. For our first topic, we’re exploring the epic 90’s Sci-Fi series, Babylon 5. We’ll guide you through all five seasons of the show - featuring key episodes and using them as discussion points across the series. If you're curious about getting into Babylon 5, this is a good place to start. In a fitting twist of fate, Babylon 5 is no longer available for free or with a subscription on any service. We suggest looking for the DVDs at your library. Or if you live near Dre or Mike, we'll likely loan you our copies. To follow along with us, you can watch these episodes of Babylon 5.
