HBO is obsessed with Walton Goggins, and the Nuts are here for it. The Nuts are also interested in the success of video game adaptations, especially kid-centered adaptations like Super Mario and Sonic. They discuss the nostalgia factor that connects audiences of all ages to these films and the potential for future adaptations of other video game properties. The conversation shifts to the gaming industry, contemplating the future of consoles and personal gaming purchases, including humorous anecdotes about family dynamics and shopping experiences. The episode concludes with light-hearted discussions about cultural references and regional dialects
