652: The Hero The Meat Raffle Deserves

Luke's heroics at a pub meat raffle set the tone for this week's episode. When a man grabs a woman's arm on the dance floor he'll be there, like a red bearded Batman.

An 83-year-old man's retirement fund - a warehouse's worth of vintage Star Wars LEGO he's been sitting on since the '90s - is stuck in the middle of one of the strangest internet dramas going right now. Bricks and Minifigs, Antifa, a YouTuber getting arrested in corporate lobbies, a police raid on an Airbnb to search for stolen LEGO, and a Patreon CEO publicly telling a franchise to get stuffed. Nuts.

That's not all: Matt has sunk 131 hours into Dune: Awakening and it's coming to Xbox and Game Pass in September, which means he and Luke might actually play it together (for about two weeks before their schedules implode). Uwe Boll is back with a potential Batman/Punisher ripoff that Warner Bros. forced him to rename. Luke cannot play Wolverine because Sony exist. And the Buffy the Vampire Slayer LEGO set - the library AND The Bronze, with minifigs - is officially under review after clearing the Ideas supporter threshold.
