Season 7 rolls on with Romi and Sean stepping into the digital chaos, kicking things off with a candid catch-up about the rise of AI-generated “slop” and whether online content has officially entered its stale era. Are we drowning in algorithm-chasing sameness? And are we part of the problem? It’s existential… but funny.
From there, it’s all gas, no brakes. The PlayStation Showcase gets a full breakdown — including Scars of Kosmora, the spiritual successor to Kena: Bridge of Spirits, a potential God of War remake, the long-awaited revival of Marathon, the mind-bending vibes of 4 Loop, and the surprise announcement of a John Wick game. On the TV side, they discuss casting news for the upcoming God of War series.
In movie news, the guys debate whether Star Fox showing up in Super Mario Galaxy-era Nintendo cinema would be galaxy-brain synergy or franchise overload, share their thoughts on the Toy Story 5 trailer, and react to Zach Cregger being given carte blanche on a new Resident Evil film adaptation.
They wrap things up with awards-season chaos, unpacking the BAFTA drama and surprising wins — including One Battle After Another overtaking Sinners in major categories — before debating whether the right films actually walked away with the gold. It’s sharp, spicy, and slightly unhinged — exactly how Episode 3 should be.
