Step back into the whimsy of childhood TV with a dash of grown-up insight as we reminisce about the '90s show "Beetleborgs," and then strap in for a candid chat about "The Mandalorian" — where does it hit the mark, and where does it miss? Our banter takes a playful turn as we reflect on the humorous trials of midlife and the curious expressiveness of iconic helmets. But it's not all fun and games; David Arquette's wrestling redemption tugs at the heartstrings, with real-life consequences and a gritty pursuit of respect in the documentary "You Cannot Kill David Arquette."

Prepare for a cinematic ride, folks! We'll navigate through the wilds of upcoming movie sequels and reboots, questioning the Predator's tech in the 1880s and how "Black Panther 2" will honor a legend. Discussions get a comedic spin with the "Deadpool 3" scriptwriters, and then it's a hop into the unknown with "The Frankenstein Chronicles." Are you intrigued by TV's "Resident Alien" and its take on extraterrestrial identity crises? Because we sure are — and we're bringing you the down-low on what to expect from this new series.

This episode is for the gamers, echoing with the hum of the Xbox Series X and the immersive worlds of "Assassin's Creed Valhalla" and "Cyberpunk 2077." Our gaming roots show as we list our top 10 multiplayer games that have left an indelible mark on us, from "Rainbow Six" to "Halo." And before we sign off, we'll tease you with a peek into the mayhem of an underworld crew, but you'll have to tune in to catch all the exhilarating details! Join us for an episode where nostalgia meets novelty, and we navigate the landscape of entertainment with hearty discussions and plenty of laughs.
