The Geekly Forecast: August 24th – 30th, 2015

The Geekly Forecast is a weekly preview of all the neat stuff coming to screens, stores, and living rooms near you!


Recommendations:

TV: Fear the Walking Dead was a huge disappointment, and frankly, the rest of the line up this week is, too. Turn off the TV. Go outside. Enjoy fresh air.
Netflix:
 Eh…. see above.
Movies: 
Again, nothing too good. Catch up on other summer flicks you missed, or just, ya know, do something that doesn’t involve a screen.
Music:
 Summer is almost over, so you might as well get The Weeknd‘s Beauty Behind the Madness while you can still show some skin. It will be the only good form of entertainment you have this week, anyway.
