S5 Ep411: Weird Science Rundown & Shows That Were Cancelled Too Soon…and Not Soon Enough

Welp, that cements it. The robots are rising sooner than we anticipated, thanks to some ill-advised scientists figuring out how to grow real human skin on a robot finger. Kathleen has that story - and why boy bands and frogs have more in common than you thought - on her weird science rundown! Bethany covers why streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are canceling awesome shows after only a year or two, and she goes through some that should have been canceled waaaaaaay before they were. And the show ruins Gossip Girl. Again.
