Look, I'm gonna level with you, this episode is almost 4 hours long and I've been in a bad headspace, so I didn't actually edit it beyond putting the music bits where they needed to go. So I don't remember everything we talked about, and don't have timestamps for you. Fortunately, we have Friend of the Show John Gholson to talk about life on the red carpet, tons of video games, some movies, and more. It's a very fun episode from what I can remember.

We didn't read a book this month! Instead we read a whole lot of comics. For Pride Month, we decided to read the Marvel's Voices Pride anthology series from 2021 through 2024, which means dozens of stories about several dozens of characters! It's a lot to keep track of, but we highlight our favorites. And as always, before that, we check in on some stuff we've been playing, watching, and thinking about.Playing:Ori and the Blind ForestFortnite Chapter 6, Season 3: SuperWatching:North of North (Netflix)Materialists (in theaters)Dimension 20: Cloudward, Ho!

Hello again! Keigh Geoffley here, host of the E Summer Games Awards Fest, back with another amazing showcase of games! I almost didn't get The Stage Select auditorium this year, because things snuck up on Julian and it took him a long time to return my calls. But don't worry: ESGAF3 2025 is here, and it's our biggest show to date!Ahem. It's Julian. Yeah, we're doing this bit again for Not E3 season. Please note that we recorded this on the night that Summer Game Fest Opening Night Live happened, so this episode covers that, plus the Unreal presentation and the Sony State of Play. We'll tackle the Xbox Direct and anything we may have missed next week.
