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.
Nicolas Cage is playing Spider-Man in a black-and-white 1950s noir series that’s out at the end of this month, and somehow that’s not even the wildest thing discussed this week. Asha Sharma quietly killed Xbox’s Copilot integration, an AI assistant that was officially announced as recently as March. Luke is so relieved he can barely contain it. Between that, the price cuts, and the achievement system overhaul, we try to work out whether she’s the real deal or if Microsoft just had a drawer full of approved changes waiting for someone new to take credit. There’s also the question of what Peter Molyneux knew and when, as his new Fable-adjacent game Masters of Albion gets caught up in accusations that its predecessor Legacy was a crypto rug pull. We trace the full sorry arc from CryptoZoo to Hawk Tuah to Johnny Depp drinking his investment wine, and end up somewhere near ’nobody learns anything.’ On the genuinely good news side: Alien Isolation 2 is real, Conan Exiles got a surprise free Unreal Engine 5 rebuild that looks stunning, The Guild is crowdfunding a 20th anniversary reunion movie, and the new Resident Evil film from Zack Cregger looks considerably better than its early ‘road trip comedy’ reputation suggested. Plus Luke has opinions about every movie coming out for the rest of 2025, and the Terminator 2 35th anniversary theatrical run might actually be worth seeing in 70mm.
Hi I wasn’t on this week’s episode so I’m not sure what to write here. I guess we’ll both have to listen together. And hold hands. Tom Cruise officially higest paid actor Don’t play the Steam Deck outside in summer The Sandman Interview with the Vampire Mythic Quest season 3
This description is for a photo of a Multiple Nerdgasm episode. Downloader will receive one brand new, in the box, Multiple Nerdgasm Episode photo. Just kidding, how would that even work? CD Projekt Red investors are suing But at least the bad bug is fixed KFConsole. Eww. Buy a photo of a PS5 instead Wonder Woman 1984 is bad or good They’re making a third one either way Dune may not stream after all George Lucas defends his dialog
Dan’s finally got an Xbox coming to him and Luke’s got a bone to pick with another Xbox gamer. Mando spin off? RIP Quibi Warner movies to release on HBO Max Peter Dinkage is the Toxic Avenger Your PS5 might be cat food Twin Galaxies goes on the offensive Hugh Keays-Byrne is geek of the week
By the time you hear this at least one of us will hopefully have pre-ordered a new Xbox. Hopefully more than one of us. Sony beats Microsoft on price But pre-orders got all messed up And you might not get one even if you pre-ordered JK Rowling triples down Mando got fired? Rey was related to a few people The Outer Worlds DLC is here Jodorowsky not into the new Dune
