The new Resident Evil movie is out (and it's good!), but we also viewed a throwback in Frontier Gal from 1945! Later we discuss the Akron Marathon and Meta's latest adjustments that we (and many others, likely) don't like.

Our Sportsball section covers the Guardians clinching the playoffs (and now the AL Central!), the latest in the NFL, and more!

If you were a fan of Anthony Bourdain, you might find "Tony" to be an interesting story, but Dominic Sessa didn't sell it to us. We also reflect on YouTube's partner program changes, and how that may make things tougher for small channels (like ours!) to succeed in the long run.

We also discuss MySpace potentially rebooting, Disney+ Verts, Disney+ potentially getting a "free" tier, sports news, and listener feedback!

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is our main focus this episode, but we also swing into a not so fantastic take on the classic shark thriller trope in The Devil's Mouth.

Although Alysha and Virginia were "out" this week, we have reviews of both One Night Only and The Drama, but we end up finding that the real "drama" is how complicated the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has actually become!

We also discuss the latest in sports news including NFL contracts, Tony Romo's DUI, and Tom Hamilton's explanation of the "Buck Moon"; we also touch on the upcoming movie Dugout Dads, and Peacock content coming to YouTube Premium.
