In this week's episode, Trump delays the TikTok ban for the third time—because procrastination is the new policy—and Twitter's old sign finds new purpose as desert firewood. Tesla continues its streak of “hold my beer” engineering by blowing past a school bus in FSD tests, then mysteriously dumps Cybertrucks in Jersey parking lots while prepping a July 4th factory nap. Meanwhile, Elon's xAI is incinerating a billion bucks a month and allegedly poisoning Memphis, OpenAI and Microsoft are beefing over who's the bigger megalomaniac, and Sam Altman thinks your power bill should fund his robot overlords.In other signs of the apocalypse: Amazon is gleefully replacing workers with AI, Microsoft finally admits it might've wasted billions chasing Skynet, and Wikipedia's editors say no thanks to dumbed-down AI summaries. Studies warn ChatGPT may be turning your brain into smooth pudding, while swearing data reveals the internet prefers the F-word with regional flair. A broke crypto TikToker gets released because he's too poor to ransom, and bankruptcies spike across the Bay as tech jobs vanish like investor confidence.Media Candy brings a buffet from Inside Out to Murderbot to Stick, and Liam Neeson somehow makes the Naked Gun reboot look awesome; Apple tunes CarPlay to fit your weird dashboard, Trump sells a gold Android that's tackier than his ties, and Dave goes full retro with Open EMU 2 and FPGA gaming; plus: Dr. Demento retires, Disneyland hits your screen, and we swear this isn't all a fever dream.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Head over to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use the code "GOG" for 20% off.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

No Script, No Mercy, No Spoilers James Gunn says the quiet part out loud about Marvel's mess, Murderbot unravels in episode 6, and we talk Mobland and Flora & Son in our “What We're Watching” segment. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 James Gunn: 9:11 Murderbot: 31:40 What We’re Watching: 41:57 James Gunn Talks Movies Gunn warns the movie industry is “dying” because studios are ditching finished scripts in favor of chasing deadlines. He pointed to Disney's mandate to ramp up Marvel content as destructive: “That wasn't fair…it killed them”. At DC, Gunn enforces a strict “no greenlight without a script” policy — and credits it for successes like Guardians and Peacemaker. His approach: quality over quantity, even if that means fewer, riskier projects. James Gunn Says the ‘Movie Industry Is Dying' Because Films Are Made Without Finished Scripts and Marvel Got ‘Killed' by Output Increase: ‘That Wasn't Fair' https://variety.com/2025/film/news/james-gunn-disney-killed-marvel-output-increase-1236433005/ “Woman Of Tomorrow” Dropped From Supergirl Film Due To James Gunn's Dislike Of Long Titles With Colons https://boundingintocomics.com/movies/movie-news/woman-of-tomorrow-dropped-from-supergirl-film-due-to-james-gunns-dislike-of-long-titles-with-colons/ Full Interview: https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-features/superman-director-james-gunn-dc-studios-interview-1235356450/ Murderbot (AppleTV) Episode 6: “Command Feed” Summary Murderbot and Mensah survived the explosion, but the hopper is damaged, and SecUnit deleted the repair manual in order to make space for a season of The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon. When Mensah is having a panic attack, Murderbot calms her down by showing her an episode of the show. They manage to repair the hopper using neural fibers from Murderbot’s spinal cord. Meanwhile at the habitat, Leebeebee tries to get more information about the results of the Preservation survey. When Gurathin refuses to show her the data, she produces a gun, shoots him in the knee, and threatens rest of the team. She admits that she is not a member of DeltFall, but of the third party. Murderbot returns and kills Leebeebee immediately, which leaves the Preservation team in shock. While it gets repaired, Murderbot muses that the others had assumed that it was becoming like them, and that it actually felt good to execute Leebeebee.

Even though we know that some past episodes have probably spent too much time talking about awards, our latest chat begins with some thoughts on—well, awards. With Nebulas, Hugos, Shirley Jackson, Ignyte, World Fantasy, etc., there are just too many to ignore. We soon drift off into other topics. Gary is looking forward to hosting a panel discussion at the Locus Awards, and is fascinated by Kemi Ashing-Giwa's 2023 novel The Splinter in the Sky, which leads into a discussion of how space opera-like stories have evolved over generations, what else we've read lately, how short story contracts have changed lately, whether there is a dearth of core SF or just an explosion of fantasy, and why Murderbot feels more like classic SF than many franchise properties. As usual, a laser-like focus on nothing in particular.

The Fork In Your Ear Ep#196 June The Gamers Month (Grok Summary of Transcription 6-14-25) The transcription captures a podcast episode hosted by Tim and Nate, focusing on technical setup issues, entertainment, video games, and tech updates, with a touch of personal life discussion. Here's a concise summary: Technical Setup Struggles (00:00:00 - 00:07:56): Nate and Tim troubleshoot audio and Discord issues during the podcast setup, dealing with problems like audio hijack previews and Mac output changes. They express frustration with technical glitches but eventually resolve them to start recording. Entertainment Discussion (00:08:10 - 00:30:54): The hosts discuss recent entertainment topics, starting with the tragic murder of Jonathan Ross, the voice actor for John Redcorn in King of the Hill, killed on June 1, 2025, in a hate crime. They express condolences and discuss its impact on the show's revival. They review Murderbot, a new Apple TV+ sci-fi comedy series starring Alexander Skarsgård, based on a book series. The show follows a rogue android who wants to watch soap operas but must save inept space hippies. Both hosts enjoy its humor and premise. Tim mentions watching a Gordon Ramsay show, Secret Service, where Ramsay secretly inspects restaurants, and revisiting The Drew Carey Show during a long traffic jam. Nate notes he's been too busy with work to watch much TV. They touch on the TV industry's shift to shorter seasons and the SAG-AFTRA video game strike resolution on June 11, 2025, allowing voice actors to return to major studios like Activision and EA. Video Game Showcases (00:30:54 - 01:47:15): The hosts discuss recent gaming showcases (Summer Game Fest, PlayStation State of Play, Xbox Games Showcase, and Nintendo Switch 2 launch). None stood out as exceptional, but highlights include: Summer Game Fest: A puppet boxing game with realistic physics and Resident Evil 9, set in a post-apocalyptic Raccoon City with toggleable first- and third-person perspectives. PlayStation State of Play: A James Bond game by IO Interactive, focusing on a young Bond, and a 4v4 Marvel fighting game by Arc System Works. The showcase disappointed by not showing more of Ghost of Yotei. Xbox Games Showcase: Announcements for Outer Worlds 2, Grounded 2 (out July 29, 2025), Indiana Jones DLC, and Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade for Xbox. Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Solo Leveling: Overdrive were also noted. Nintendo Switch 2: Tim secured a Switch 2 at Costco unexpectedly and praises its design, despite an LCD screen. Games like Mario Kart World and No Man's Sky were discussed, with Mario Kart World criticized for lacking polish and unclear mechanics like rail grinding. Tech Talk (01:47:15 - 02:29:03): Tim shares his Switch 2 experience, praising its sleek design, improved Joy-Cons, HD Rumble 2, and DLSS upscaling, but notes issues with older Switch games in handheld mode due to CPU limitations. The Switch 2 Pro Controller is lauded for its silent, smooth sticks and customization. Nate discusses the Asus ROG Ally X Xbox Edition, a Windows 11 handheld with an Xbox mode, 24GB RAM, and a 1TB SSD. It's compared to the Switch 2 but lacks native Xbox game support, relying on cloud and Play Anywhere titles. They lament confusing microSD Express card standards for the Switch 2 and USB-C cable compatibility issues. Life Updates (02:29:03 - End): Both hosts mention recent birthdays and improving personal circumstances. Nate shares a humorous anecdote about his father gifting him alcohol despite his sobriety, and Tim discusses a USB hub failure affecting his streaming setup. They wrap up with Father's Day wishes and podcast sign-off. The episode blends technical banter, entertainment and gaming news, and personal anecdotes, reflecting the hosts' passion for tech and gaming amidst life's challenges.   Join The Fork Family On Discord: https://discord.gg/CXrFKxR8uA Find all our stuff at Remember to give us a review on iTunes or wherever you downloaded this podcast from.

On this week's episode, Cody kicks things off with an engaging discussion centered around the much-anticipated revival of the beloved television series Malcolm in the Middle. He delves into the significance of the show's return, exploring how it has managed to capture the hearts of both old fans and new viewers alike. The conversation touches on the original series' unique blend of humor and family dynamics, as well as what audiences can expect from this revival in terms of character development and storyline continuity. The nostalgic elements are sure to resonate with those who grew up watching the show, while also appealing to a younger generation discovering it for the first time.Following this, the guys transition into an exciting discussion about the newly released trailer for The Expanse: Osiris Reborn. They analyze the visuals, themes, and potential plotlines hinted at in the trailer, offering insights into how this installment may expand the universe established in the previous seasons. The anticipation builds as they speculate on character arcs and the overarching narrative, considering how the series has evolved and what new challenges the characters may face in this latest chapter.Next, the conversation shifts to the realm of video games, where they discuss some of the newest trailers and first looks that have been unveiled over the past week. Among the highlighted titles are 007: First Light, which promises to bring a fresh take on the iconic spy franchise, and The Witcher 4, a game that fans are eagerly awaiting. The guys share their thoughts on the gameplay mechanics, graphics, and storytelling elements that these trailers reveal, engaging in a lively debate about the direction of these franchises and their impact on the gaming landscape.As the episode progresses, they delve into the first full-length trailer for Alien: Earth, analyzing its potential to reinvigorate the iconic Alien franchise. The guys express their excitement about the return to the chilling atmosphere and suspense that the series is known for. They discuss the implications of the trailer's visuals and sound design, and how it sets the tone for what could be a thrilling addition to the sci-fi horror genre.In a more lighthearted segment, the guys share their enthusiasm for the upcoming Predator: Killer of Killers. They discuss what makes the Predator franchise so enduring and speculate on how this new installment might innovate while staying true to its roots. Their excitement is palpable as they consider the possibilities for action, suspense, and the intricate lore that has developed over the years.Joe then makes a candid confession, admitting to a controversial stance that could ruffle the feathers of media enthusiasts: his preference for 30-minute episodes. He reflects on how this desire stems from a wish for more concise storytelling, which he believes can sometimes lead to a more impactful narrative experience. However, he acknowledges that this perspective has drawn criticism, particularly in relation to the complexities of shows like Murderbot, which thrive on deeper character exploration and longer arcs. This leads to a thoughtful discussion about the balance between brevity and depth in storytelling across various media.To wrap up the episode, the guys engage in a lively brainstorming session about potential story beats and character developments for upcoming seasons of their favorite shows. They share their predictions and hopes, weaving together ideas that reflect their understanding of narrative structure and character growth. This segment not only showcases their passion for storytelling but also invites listeners to consider the possibilities that lie ahead in their favorite series.Official Website: https://www.comesnaturallypodcast.comOfficial Merchandise: https://shop.spreadshirt.com/comes-naturally-podcast/iTunes: http://tinyurl.com/kqkgackFacebook: http://tinyurl.com/myovgm8Tumblr: http://tinyurl.com/m7a6mg9Twitter: @ComesNaturalPodYouTube: http://tiny.cc/5snxpy

MCU tries to reset, Murderbot tries to escape emotional damage. This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl break down Captain America: Brave New World, where Sam Wilson's shield meets political paranoia and a very red, very angry Hulk. Then it's back into the soap-operatic arms of Murderbot, as Episode 5 serves up sabotage, sass, and an unexpected anatomy lesson.

This week's episode commenced with an engaging and thought-provoking discussion regarding the runtime of current television show episodes, specifically focusing on popular series like Murderbot and Severance. The hosts delved into the question of whether an hour-long episode is excessively long for viewers, potentially leading to fatigue or disengagement, while conversely pondering if a 22-minute episode is insufficient to fully develop the narrative and characters. This intriguing debate naturally segued into a broader conversation about the notable differences between the original source material, such as the books, and their television adaptations. The hosts expressed their anticipation for future episodes and the development of characters, exploring how adaptations can sometimes diverge from the original storyline while still capturing the essence of the narrative. Cody then smoothly transitioned the conversation towards Apple's recent and significant changes to their various Operating Systems, which have an impact across all their devices, including iPhones, iPads, and Macs. The discussion highlighted the implications of these updates for users, such as enhanced functionality, improved user interfaces, and new features that aim to enrich the overall user experience. Joe contributed to the conversation by sharing fascinating details about Nintendo's rich history, detailing its evolution from a playing card company to a giant in the gaming industry, and how its legacy has shaped contemporary gaming culture. This historical context led to an exciting discussion about the highly anticipated upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, with speculation around its features, potential advancements in technology, and how it might compete in the ever-evolving gaming landscape. The hosts exchanged opinions on what gamers can expect from this new console, including possible innovations that could redefine the gaming experience and keep Nintendo at the forefront of the industry.Official Website: https://www.comesnaturallypodcast.comOfficial Merchandise: https://shop.spreadshirt.com/comes-naturally-podcast/iTunes: http://tinyurl.com/kqkgackFacebook: http://tinyurl.com/myovgm8Tumblr: http://tinyurl.com/m7a6mg9Twitter: @ComesNaturalPodYouTube: http://tiny.cc/5snxpy

Murderbot is a killing machine in the far future that would rather spend its time binging an intergalactic soap opera. Shooting bad guys with lasers is much less stressful than making eye contact or engaging in small talk with humans. Murderbot is also the main character of Martha Wells' best-selling series of books, The Murderbot Diaries. The books have been adapted into a fun new show on Apple TV+ starring Alexander Skarsgård. I talk with Martha Wells, and the showrunners Chris and Paul Weitz, about the challenges of adapting the books for television -- from casting choices, to translating Murderbot's anxious inner monologue into voice-over narration, to finding the right balance of comedy, action, and sci-fi.

In this week's “we told you so” edition, we kick things off with the latest AI faceplant—go ahead, Google “Is it 2025?” and try not to spit coffee on your keyboard. Meanwhile, over at Meta, Zuckerberg's brilliant idea to loosen content moderation has, shocker, led to more harassment and violent content. Elsewhere in tech dystopia: Texas is trying to ground all minors off social media, Germany wants to slap a 10% tax on Silicon Valley, and Anthropic is handing out free search powers and a board seat to Netflix's Reed Hastings. Because nothing says “trusted AI governance” like a guy who greenlit Love Is Blind.But wait, crypto bros are having their own John Wick arc: a luxury townhouse, a missing wallet, and possibly an NYPD detective tangled in a real-life “crypto millionaire torture” flick. As if that isn't enough, Trump Media is fundraising to buy $2.5B in Bitcoin—and DJT stock promptly nosedived. Also feuding this week: Marjorie Taylor Greene vs. Grok, because nothing screams Christian values like rageposting at Elon's AI. And speaking of Elon, he's now in bed with Telegram to the tune of $300 million, which we're sure won't be a disinformation factory.MEDIA CANDY is stacked: from the Murderbot diaries to a My Dinner with Andre rewatch, and yes, the Wheel of Time got axed after 3 seasons. Apps? Opera Neon is a UI fever dream, Starling Home Hub adds more smarts to your house, and WhatsApp finally arrives on iPad—welcome to 2016. In THE DARK SIDE, Dave Bittner brings the latest digital dirt, including the CIA's bonkers Star Wars fan site op. And if you're hitting the library, grab The AI Con or something more romantic—like Love, Sex and the Alien Apocalypse.
