Crossing over to the Quest 3 XR – DTNS 4613 Extended

Season 10, Ep. 4613

What role does AI and streaming play in the Writers Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television producers agreement. We explain FTC’s latest efforts to challenge the Microsoft-Activision Blizzard merger. And Meta unveils the Quest 3 headset.


Killer Sloths and Tacos - GDI 4613 starts at 30:39


CNN launched CNN Max in beta. Does this excite you? How much live news do you watch? Where do you think Max is trying to be? Does HBO still stand for prestige? So much confusion. So many contracts and agreements can be overwhelming. Cable companies might be losing their leverage. Scott has an appreciation for Tubi. Have you heard about Slotherhouse?  Horror movies talk takes over. Can there be too much cheese? How often have you eaten street food? Do parasites have accents? Sarah shares a brain parasite story and won't eat sweaty cheese. Don't microwave your Blu-ray’s.


Starring Tom Merritt, Sarah Lane, Scott Johnson, Roger Chang, Joe.
