Your hosts switch it up a little this week with a little exercise. A random decade was selected and movie titles were generated using ChatGPT.

We are at the halfway point of the new Star Wars series -- "The Acolyte".

Something that Teebs and KidPhoenix speculated on previously in series two happened this past week. (They're clairvoyant AF, people!) Brent Lang at Variety reported on the purchase of the Alamo Drafthouse -- a movie theater chain in multiple states across the United States. While the chain isn't as big as Regal or AMC, it does reveal that production companies are at least thinking about controlling movie releases from production to distribution.

Since the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) is no longer a thing (R.I.P.), the Summer Game Fest -- an expo similar to E3 but hosted primarily online -- is all gamers have in the summer to see what video game companies are developing in the next year (or quarter as they do in that industry). Teebs and KidPhoenix are on the job with what they took away from this year's Summer Game Fest. What did they take away? What are they excited for (if anything because you know how they are with video games)?

The summer is here which means there will be lots of new content for the kids on summer vacation to consume. If you're a Star Wars kid (of any age), "The Acolyte" was released last night before the taping of this podcast. Teebs and KidPhoenix will be having a "first thoughts" pod soon, but you can (and should) check the socials to see how your hosts feel about the show. On the pod, today, Teebs and KidPhoenix preview some of the plot points and characters of the show and then ask the Star Wars developers one thing: "You good, bro?"

It's always easy to talk about science fiction movies that are incredibly well-known, famous and influential. Teebs and KidPhoenix love to go down the rabbit hole from time to time and give a few suggestions of films (especially from the sci-fi boom of the 90s) that should receive ... a flower. They don't get the entire bouquet, but they should get at least one piece of floral acknowledgement. For every Matrix, there is a Johnny Mneumonic. For every Universal Soldier, there is a ...

In 1979, Ridley Scott took a story from writer Dan O'Bannon and turned it into one of the greatest franchises in pop culture history: "Alien". The franchise has gone through several evolutions in story telling and tone, but the core DNA (or at least parts) of the original Alien movie are in each new iteration.

The year is 2014. It is a strange transitional year for pop culture and media. We are years removed from the last Star Wars movie and years before its return. The Lord of the Rings trilogy has come and gone. The Marvel Cinematic Universe was still a bit in its infancy -- but ten years ago, some important debuts made their way to the big screen, little screen and consoles.

Social media has become a way of life for many people. Whether it's Facebook, Instagram, X, BlueSky or all of the above, many around the world are on these platforms. One social media platform that has been hotly contested of late is TikTok (sort of the evolution of vine -- if you're old enough to remember that). The United States Congress passed a proposed measure that would effectively ban TikTok (or at the very least make it very difficult, financially).

According to a recent report, Sony stock has lost $10 billion in value after lowering the forecast for projected Playstation 5 sales. Teebs and KidPhoenix could care less about stock prices, but it's worth wondering if we're witnessing the beginning of the decline in console gaming.

One thing Teebs & KidPhoenix enjoy (like any common man) is great, thought-provoking journalism. Let's face it. We all need to do something else because the television landscape has changed quite a bit since the Second Golden Age of Television (aka "Prestige TV"). Streaming services have transformed television as we know it, so those golden days of shows like "The Sopranos", "The Wire" and other HBO heavy hitters (which paved the way for the "Breaking Bad"s and "Orange is the New Black"s of the world don't show up in the landscape as often. Michael Schulman of the New Yorker brought this thought to internet in a column he did -- which you can read here -- and Teebs and KidPhoenix wanted to have their own discussion.

The Halloween Spectacular has concluded, so let's get back to topical, typical nerd business! Last week, Tatiana Siegel of Variety Magazine penned a column outlining some really interesting details after a meeting of the Marvel minds in Palm Springs. A back up plan for Jonathan Major's Kang the Conqueror character. Issues with "The Marvels" (which debutes in theaters this Friday) as well as "Blade" starring Mahershala Ali -- which isn't due for another year (or more depending on if it gets pushed back). Plans about the ressurection of both Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man AND Scarlett Johanssen's Black Widow characters.

Your hosts have returned ... and they have returned with a special guest! "Baby Sis" -- the one who typically has the most grievances with your hosts -- is joining her brothers Teebs and KidPhoenix for a full one hour episode! She is on the podcast to help talk about a subject that is very important in pop culture that (for once) your hosts know less than nothing about. From Nike, the Air Jordan, adidas, PUMA, Reebok and everything in between, Baby Sis knows way more about the history of sneaker culture and its influence on current fashion trends.
