How to Protect Yourself Online
Being online has a whole host of challenges and risks. There are issues like phishing scams, ransomware (hackers grabbing your data, encrypting it, and holding it hostage), identity theft, password theft, etc. etc. Today, Lord Thunder joins us to help us to take measures to protect ourselves, our data, and our loved ones online. Nothing is perfect, of course, but our goal is to do what we can. There are a number of things like changing all of your passwords (using a service like 1Password or LastPass to store your passwords), making sure you're using the correct anti-virus, firewall, and other programs. Utilizing VPNs, programs like Sophos to keep your computers safe, etc.
Join us on this episode to learn more about how to protect yourself online!

Marvel Movie Rewatch in Preparation for Avengers: Endgame
We are SOOO excited for Avengers: Endgame (which is now OUT!!!) We're going this weekend and we will review it NEXT Friday! I wanted to go back and rewatch a few Marvel Movies that are key to the Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame storyline. Especially pertaining to the Infinity Stones. I talk all about this on the show this week, but here is my rewatch list. This is the must-watch for the Endgame story:
- The Avengers
- Guardians of the Galaxy
- Captain America: Civil War (not AS necessary, but good for the state of the Avengers and the relationships/tension)
- Doctor Strange
- Black Panther
- Avengers: Infinity War
Optional:
- Captain America: The First Avenger (intro to the tesseract)
- Iron Man 3 (possibly tying in Tony Stark's wall of suits in Avengers: Endgame)
- Captain America: The Winter Soldier (more just for fun and the state of SHIELD)
- Avengers: Age of Ultron (introduction of various characters we'll see in Endgame)
- Spider-Man Homecoming (not necessary, but fun in case you want to)
- Thor Ragnarok (Thor's current state and a few other things with Asgard)
