Episode Summary This episode is a geek news and trailer roundup with a full IT: Welcome to Derry Season 1 finale discussion, plus reactions to the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow teaser and the Netflix live action Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2 trailer. We also hit the biggest Game Awards 2025 winners and reveals, including Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, a new Divinity announcement, and first impressions of the Street Fighter movie trailer. Spoiler note: Full spoilers for IT: Welcome to Derry Season 1 kick in during the dedicated segment later in the episode. Timestamps and Topics 0:00:00 Intro, holiday check-in, and California fog weather 00:01:22 Question of the Week: Which classic horror movie should become a modern series? 00:05:31 Streaming consolidation talk and why big mergers worry creators and viewers 00:12:08 Far Cry series discussion and what makes the games work as TV 00:17:05 The Game Awards 2025 recap: winners and biggest reveals 00:25:48 Trailer reactions: Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow teaser and Lobo glimpse 00:32:52 Trailer reactions: Netflix Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2, Toph, Azula, bending rules 00:39:25 IT: Welcome to Derry Season 1 spoiler discussion and finale thoughts 00:49:28 What's next: Season 2 (1935) and Season 3 (1908) setting breakdown 00:53:03 Ratings and recommendations, plus network updates and wrap-up Key Takeaways The show dives into how streaming consolidation could impact jobs, creativity, and what viewers pay. Far Cry feels like a perfect TV sandbox if it nails the villain and the escalating rebellion vibe. The Game Awards conversation focuses on what looks exciting now versus what might be years away. Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow looks like it's keeping the comic's tone and trauma-driven edge front and center. Netflix Avatar Season 2 has the ingredients, but the details matter, especially Toph's presentation and Azula's intensity. IT: Welcome to Derry sticks the landing for the crew, and the back-in-time structure could keep future seasons fresh. Memorable Quotes "Merging in the end makes a small amount of people rich." "That is such a devious strategy. You almost got to respect it." "How does this story about Pennywise make me feel feelings?" "I need to see bloodbending."
