This is the fifth installment of our Memory Lane series, where we look back at the highs and lows of all things nerdy and geeky from the last decade.

In this episode, we reflect upon the year 2013. Reigning champions of video games sales and television views are overtaken by challengers for the first time in the decade. We start to see the influence of Disney at the box office, and the influence of streaming on entertainment.

In the third installment of our Memory Lane series, we follow the trend of the early 2010's by splitting our conversation into two parts!

In this episode, we look at the anime shows, and movies from 2011. How did so many genre defining anime series come out in one year? And why was 2011 the year when sequels dominated the box office?
