593: He Wants To Suck You

It’s Oscar season and we have some thoughts on the very small number of nominated films that we’ve bothered to watch! We also talk Phantom Liberty, The Lake House, The Substance, Nosferatu, Scream 7, Robbie Williams, Alien: Earth, Book of the New Sun Book Two, and more! * Matthew Lillard returns for Scream 7… somehow - https://www.darkhorizons.com/matthew-lillard-returns-for-scream-7/ * So does Scott Foley - https://www.darkhorizons.com/scott-foley-returns-for-scream-7/ * Alien: Earth will probably annoy Matt - https://arstechnica.com/culture/2025/01/alien-earth-teaser-gives-us-xenomorphs-pov/

We do eventually get to some nerdy topics this week, but we’ve got a lot of chatter to get through first. Then we talk Switch 2 backwards compatibility, Elon “cheating” at games, Kraven the Hunter’s weird CGI usage, The Book of the New Sun and we’ve got an update on our fitness pact!

We’re back after a brief hiatus! Matt does have a cold though, sorry. We talk Assassins Creed, Indiana Jones, Switch 2, Xbox portable, The Dead Don’t Die, Peep Show, Tik Tok, Thriller and much more! * Switch 2, baby! - https://kotaku.com/nintendo-switch-2-teaser-trailer-mario-kart-reveal-2025-1851741096 * Xbox portable? - https://www.vg247.com/microsoft-handheld-best-of-windows-xbox-steam-deck * Tik Tok will probably be banned here soon - https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/01/supreme-court-rules-tiktok-can-be-banned/
