7 Years ago, a daring TV Comedy was cancelled after 3 seasons due to poor ratings but a rabid fanbase. After false starts and empty promises, Netflix opted to pick up a 15-episode fourth season. But was that a wise and accepted view or did it cause the fans to be frustrated and confused? Long-time Arrested Development fans Eric, Lauren, Arthouse Legends co-hosts Jonolobster and Kent, along with special contributing guest Comedy Enthusiest Ramsey from ramseyess.net joins us to talk about the bad, the oblivious and the downright evil figures that make up the Bluth clan.

While the bar might be open, the tables are turned towards a podium as Quantum Tavern exercises (and perhaps exorcizes) a little democracy in our first ever recorded debate.

While the debate might be recorded, come by the Quantum Tavern website or Twitter feed and cast your vote.

Bonus: The Vampire/Zombie Debate

This is where geeks come to get their drink on among friends. If you dine at the Cafe Diem, you get your nightcap here.
