Well look at this, January is already coming to a close and February is all ready to get started. Good thing the NerdMelt Showroom at Meltdown Comics in Los Angeles has a great slate of shows to help you make the month-to-month transition, with shows like the always incredible Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail, a LIVE Dork Forest with Jackie Kashian, the return of Star Dreck, and a double dose of Sex Nerd Sandra!

Whovians! Grab your sonic screwdriver and slap on your bow ties as BBC Home Entertainment and Nerdist present the Classic Doctor Who Screening Series. Each month, come by and watch a different full adventure of everybody’s favorite Time Lord from the first 26 years of the show’s history. Trivia and costume contests will also be happening with tons of great Doctor Who prizes. It’ll be a TARDIS-ful of fun.
