What is the state of social media? Which is the better delivery app? What’s in Ben Affleck’s Jack in the Box bag?!

These are the kind of life-altering questions that we ask ourselves this week on the podcast, and to get some real wisdom we welcome special guest and friend of the show, Sean Evans!

We get down and dirty with all the social media sites in our lives, our firsts, our favorites (our least favorites)...

But before all that we get into fast food news (?) from the rumored Big Arch burger over at McDonalds and Chick-fil-a’s endeavor to join the world of streaming!

Plus a handful of new trailers, including Netflix’s award season double whammy of The Piano Lesson and Emilia Perez, the new anime epic The Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrum, and Sonic the Hedgehog 3!

It's a loaded, fun episode and we have a good time with Sean, so be sure to like, subscribe, and follow and, of course, give us a listen whilst you’re at it… you might not regret it.

Is Alien: Romulus a return to form for the franchise, or is it another in a long series of duds?! Does it bring back the scares, as well as the substance?!

The Xenomorph returned to the big screen last weekend and the team of nerds saw it in all its IMAX glory for this week’s feature discussion! Does it live up to expectations? Is there hope for the franchise yet? Listen in for our spoiler-filled discussion to hear our thoughts.

But before all of that, of course, we cover the news, including the rumors surrounding a potential Alien vs. Predator reboot, and a John Madden biopic… starring Nicholas Cage?!

We have some new trailers - A24’s Y2K and the much-buzzed about and controversial trailer for Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis!

After our Alien: Romulus review, we catch up on its box office performance and the summer movie wager as it draws to a close.

And last, but certainly not least, we discuss what we’ve been into, from Fortnite (a lot of Fortnite), to The Incredibles Lego game, from Batman: The Caped Crusader on Prime, to Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

It’s a blast and a half - we get rowdy and happy in this one, with fun clashing opinions on Alien: Romulus…

I can't lie to you about your chances, but... you have my sympathies.
