Luke left a Rabbitohs game at halftime (they were up 24-0, which apparently is suspicious rather than reassuring) to record this, so you’re welcome. The big Xbox news: Game Pass is cheaper now, but Call of Duty won’t be day one anymore because apparently people were actually buying it and Microsoft noticed the gap in their wallet. Project Helix will be a real Xbox you can buy — not just a chip inside someone else’s handheld — though the ‘available as’ phrasing has Matt convinced ASUS will also be selling one. The Black Flag remaster looks sick in motion even if some of the screenshots are weirdly picked. Conan Exiles is getting a free UE5 glow-up on PC, which interrupted Matt’s current Dune Awakening era where he basically just pops in every few days to top up his shields. In other news: the guy who leaked the new Avatar movie is in serious trouble in Singapore (Luke’s taxi driver once warned him not to pick up a leaf from the ground there, so yeah, that tracks). Tim Cook is out at Apple. And somehow they ended up talking about a 1994 Super Nintendo game that was originally going to be a Hellraiser shooter. As you do.
Dan’s off this week - probably on the search for new music for Luke to enjoy since ska died in the ’90s.

Luke’s got red blood. What colour is yours? If it matches Luke’s, could you please send us a kidney? If you don’t do it voluntarily, he will just cheat you out of it anyway.
The spoilers are all at the end of the episode! And there’s a bunch of cool stuff we discuss before that, so if you haven’t seen Avengers: Endgame then don’t skip all of this episode, but do skip the end. Peter Mayhew has died Man swallows Airpod? We’re skeptical and yet we still discuss it. John Williams still rules This guy got bashed for spoiling Endgame. We promise to try really hard not to. Don’t bash us.
If you want an opinion, you have to show up… which is why we don’t care what Dan thinks this week. This actually makes things easier for us to form a collective sentiment to present to you, the listener, as a Multiple Nerdgasm Review™.
Bryan Singer is out… but Luke the singer is in - the new Red Sonja musical!
If you just wanna get a dude off, we’ve got some tips for you, as directed by David Lynch.
Luke takes the opportunity that Dan’s absence provides to get uncomfortably weird this week. Join Matt and Luke as they discuss game to tv adaptations and Apple’s theft of your films.
