Luke’s three VBs in not hungover this week, so prepare for some high energy discussion of the week’s going on!
Bruce Campbell Says He Has Five Years Left Luke does not have the restriction on streaming Adventure awaits! Nintendo of America announces Customer Appreciation Sale - News - Nintendo Official Site The iPhone Duo is Apple’s first foldable The Legend Of Zelda Ocarina Of Time Remake Fully Revealed Metroid Ravenous – Nintendo Direct 9.9.2026 - YouTube KALLAX STORAGEBORN, a free creation for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim™ from IKEA. - YouTube The Wolverine reviews are in ‘South Park’ Is “Changing Its Name” to ‘South America’ for Season 29 to Mock Trump The Just-Canceled ‘Spider-Noir’ Wins Some Posthumous Emmys
This week we wonder how Nolan made a $250 million movie that looks like The Odyssey, while Moana 2 cost the same amount and looks like… Moana 2.
‘The Mandalorian & Grogu’ Officially Surges to No. 1 as Instant Digital Hit in Just 24 Hours Whoopi Goldberg Slams Transphobic Critics of Elliot Page’s Casting in ‘The Odyssey’: ‘Then Don’t Go See It… Why Do You Care Who’s Cast in It?’ ‘The Odyssey’ Proves It: Audiences Want Movies Made the Hard Way Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Odyssey’ Is Officially Too Popular ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ Breaks New Record 6 Months Before It Hits Theaters First Photos: “Blade Runner 2099” TV Series Blade Runner 2099 Teaser Disney Officially Confirms the End of ‘The Mandalorian’
Somehow a conversation about the Grogu movie leads to the discovery that Neighbours made a zombie spin-off in 2014 and it’s available on YouTube. That’s the kind of episode this is.
Along the way: William Shatner publicly calling his own Magic: The Gathering card AI-generated garbage, Matt’s genuine distress over not being able to enjoy Stardew Valley, Luke owning 12 boxes of Heroes of Might and Magic 3 board game expansions and having opened exactly one, and a surprisingly interesting breakdown of why Spotify’s new fan-verification ticket system might actually dent concert scalping. Plus GTA 6 is still November, Destiny 2 is winding down, and Matt is running a local AI agent that reads obituaries so we don’t miss Geek of the Week candidates.

Matt’s away committing minor crimes in England (just a bit of trespassing, nothing serious), so it’s just Dan and Luke holding down the fort this week. We’ve got exciting Star Wars news about the 50th anniversary, some controversial fashion choices from Columbia, and tales of international law-breaking that’ll make you think twice before filming content abroad.
We apologise for being MIA, but we promise it was for a good reason (we were napping, maybe!).

Show Matt the Champion of Light, and he’ll show you the Herald of Darkness!
We need to apologise. This week we watched The Acolyte and let’s just say we may have learned a thing or two. We also discuss the latest drama surrounding Dr Disrespect, Logan Paul and Julian Assange. It’s a dramatic week!
