This week Segway shows us the Drift W1 E-Skates, Spotify taking a run at Apple, Halo to hit Showtime with a new TV series, a super geeky “Geek Off” where we debate a Lightsaber vs Vibranium and then George R.R. Martin has time to write lists of book recommendations but no time to finish his own book, but his lists are decent. Segway announces plans for the Drift W1 With the rise in popularity of electronic transportation, we're talking hoverboards, powered skateboards, etc. why not strap some robot tech to your feet with Segway's new E-Skates! RAMpage hits Android It's been a while, but we've got some new hacking news. The RAMpage attack seems to be hitting Android devices from 2012 forward and could potentially lead to more stolen information. Is Spotify gearing up to become more than a music provider? By hiring a new Chief Content Officer with a background as a television and video executive, Spotify may be starting to show their hand in terms of some pretty wide media ambitions.

MoviePass Tries A Financial Hail Mary To Keep Itself Afloat There's no doubt about it: MoviePass is bleeding cash, and there's no guarantee that a growing subscriber base or investors (who are increasingly jittery) will keep it going. And that, in turn, is leading it to consider more drastic measures. MoviePass parent company Helios and Matheson Analytics has filed a statement with the SEC to let it sell as much as $1.2 billion in equity and debt securities over the next three years.

Season Premieres:GLOW (Netflix)Alison Brie stars as Ruth Wilder, an out-of-work actress living in Los Angeles in the '80s. Wilder finds an unexpected chance at stardom: enter the glitter and spandex-laden world of women's wrestling, where she must work alongside 12 other Hollywood misfits. Marc Maron plays the role of Sam Sylvia, a washed-up director of "B" movies who tries to lead the group of women to fame. The series is created by Carly Mensch and Liz Flahive, who serve as executive producers with Jenji Kohan and Tara Herrmann.Harlots (Hulu)In this drama set in 18th century London, Samantha Morton stars as Margaret Wells, a brothel owner and mother to two daughters, Charlotte and Lucy. When Margaret's business is attacked by Lydia Quigley (Lesley Manville), a ruthless rival madam, a war breaks out over the city's most profitable commercial activity -- sex. Margaret is determined to fight back and protect her business, even if it puts everything else at risk, including her family. Creators Moira Buffini and Alison Newman also serve as executive producers.Series Premieres:A Very English Scandal (Amazon)Starring Golden Globe-nominated actor Hugh Grant and based on a true story, "A Very English Scandal" tells the story of Jeremy Thorpe, a member of Parliament who, in 1979, was tried and later acquitted of conspiring to murder his ex-lover, Norman Scott. Beginning in the 1960s, Thorpe is the leader of the Liberal Party, the youngest head of a political party in 100 years. But he is hiding an affair with a man at a time when homosexuality is still illegal. When Scott threatens to reveal the affair, Thorpe decides upon a plan of action that eventually exposes the scandal and leads to a watershed moment in British social and political life, illuminating the level of dark secrets and cover-ups in the British establishment.Sharp Objects (HBO)Reporter Camille Preaker returns to her hometown to cover the murders of two preteen girls; Camille finds herself identifying with the young victims while trying to solve a psychological puzzle from her past.

This drama series explores the famed Los Angeles stand-up scene of the 1970s as the comedy hopefuls stand alone on stage, "dying" for fame, fortune and -- if they're lucky -- a shot on Johnny Carson's show. Oscar winner Melissa Leo leads the ensemble cast as Goldie, a comedy-club owner who mentors a competitive but close-knit group of comics. She leads her business with an iron fist but nurtures the comics with tough love because she knows that there's no such thing as an easy laugh in their chosen profession.The Handmaid’s Tale (Hulu)Based on the best-selling novel by Margaret Atwood, this series is set in Gilead, a totalitarian society in what used to be part of the United States. Gilead is ruled by a fundamentalist regime that treats women as property of the state, and is faced with environmental disasters and a plummeting birth rate. In a desperate attempt to repopulate a devastated world, the few remaining fertile women are forced into sexual servitude. One of these women, Offred, is determined to survive the terrifying world she lives in, and find the daughter that was taken from her.C.B. Strike (Cinemax)Based on the best-selling novels by Robert Galbraith (aka J.K. Rowling), Tom Burke ("The Musketeers") stars as private detective Cormoran Strike, a former war veteran now working out of a cramped London office. Together with his assistant, Robin Ellacott, Cormoran tackles cases that have, so far, baffled the police. Though struggling with the psychological and physical toll that combat have wrought on him, Cormoran is well-equipped to delve into complex conundrums thanks to his background as a Special Investigation Branch investigator.

Trev and Joe are finally back with a brand new episode, to share their thoughts on the first pictures of Josh Brolin as Cable (one of Joe's favorite characters, and a character that Trev is certainly aware of!). Do the pictures live up to expectations? The guys give their take, as well as offer those less aware of Cable a brief refresher on his origins, and examine why him and Deadpool make such a compelling duo in the comics. But first, some discussion about the recent tragedy on the set of DEADPOOL 2, speculation about Jennifer Lawrence's role in X-MEN: DARK PHOENIX, and, in a long-awaited new installment of "Chatting Tatum," a look at recent comments from Channing Tatum about the current status of GAMBIT. Also, thoughts on the recent season of GAME OF THRONES, WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES, and a surprising amount of talk about the classic Paul Rudd/Seann William Scott vehicle ROLE MODELS. Why?

Peldar Joy, listeners. We're so sorry. It's Gratitude Fest on on Deep Space Nine, and it can be hard to find things to be grateful for in this episode. Luxwana Troi shows up! But we don't blame her for this. Sure in the plot all the nonconsentual grabbing and unsolicited amore is her fault, but we blame the writers for this Midsummer Nights Fiasco. Some O'brien marriage drama between Miles and Keiko in the B plot is ... slightly better, but we have some notes there too. Plus, we get back to some of your feedback, ultimately ruminating on some more problematic sexual practices available in Quark's in a Premium Cable version of Star Trek.

The first episode of the Bedford & Sullivan podcast has arrived! I, Sam Maxwell, am developing a TV series along the lines of Mad Men and Boardwalk Empire regarding Brooklyn, its Dodgers, and how both were affected by the rapid transition into Modern America. As I gather the writing team together, a lot of research must be done to clearly define the atmosphere of Brooklyn circa 1937-1957. The research will be done via books and articles from the period, as well as from interviews with folks of the era and/or with knowledge of the era. This podcast will be to keep you, the audience, active listeners in that research. On the inaugural episode, talk-show host Larry King, who grew up in Brooklyn, will share with us his best stories regarding the borough and its ballclub, and how the two have influenced his life. Also, Ron Schweiger, the Brooklyn Borough Historian, will join us to discuss some of his favorite Brooklyn Dodger stories, including his first time entering Ebbets Field. So, join me Monday, July 1st, at 1:30PM EST for the inaugural episode of the Bedford & Sullivan podcast!
