The battle for the summer box office begins with Marvel's Thunderbolts* taking over the box office, and Gerald has a review of whether this brings Marvel back on track as they head toward their "Doomsday". But the box office has already been cooking as Ryan Coogler's Sinners has been the surprise hit of 2025. Just how good is this movie, and how much success can it still achieve? TJ Johnson stops by to answer these questions and share his thoughts on this cinematic sensation and early Oscar candidate. All this and with the latest success of Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion Remastered and their support for breakout hit Claire Obscure: Expedition 33, why did XBOX make the perplexing choice to jack up the rates of its consoles and accessories? And TJ has some thoughts on the Los Angeles Lakers after their disappointing dismissal at the hands of the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round.
