We end our SuperWhoLock November with one of the oldest modern fandoms, Sherlock Holmes. The reason fans act the way they do, is because thousands of people in the Victorian era were obsessed with this pipe-smoking detective. It's elementary... Even though he possibly maybe never said that.

Join us for a series of trivia games and improv challenges in the world of Sherlock Holmes. Drew, Ben + Audra are joined by guest player, author + improviser Jeffrey Reich

In the penultimate Press Play, the Beefcheek Bros look back at the forgettable action-flick, Hitman (2007, surprisingly). It's a bullet-storm of bald heads and bad movie moments, that's a far cry from the classic steath-based video game series. Collateral damage? Almost certainly. Featuring Aaron Randolph (BFYTW) and Ben Robinson (Space Oddities).

Hosted by Drew Shulman and Jason Nguyen, Press Play looks back at the history of video game adaptations. From the small screen in your living room you control with your hands, to the big screen in the room with all the chairs you watch with your eyes, it's time to Press Play.
