Ewan and Lachlan are back - well Ewan is at least as Lachlan suffers from an expected audio & video issue for the first 30 minutes of the podcast. While we stare at Lachlan's enraged face mad at his external drive, they chat about the Nintendo Direct that announced new games for The Legend of Zelda, Donkey Kong, Mario & Luigi, Mario Party, and Metroid. They discuss the recent success of Inside Out at the box office, a new Richard Linklater film, and a $300 Mio film from the Russo Brothers. After discussing the trailer for Smile 2, A Real Pain, The Front Room, and The Penguin they talk about the ongoing disappointment of The Acolyte and the successful start of the fourth season of The Boys and the second season of House of the Dragon. Finally, after Ewan shares his thoughts on I Used to Be Funny, Fancy Dance, and The Beast, the two discuss Jane Schoenbrun's sophomore feature film I Saw the TV Glow.
Ewan and Lachlan talk about Sony acquiring Alama Draft House, a revived Game of Thrones spin-off series, Zack Synder's Director's Cut for Rebel Moon, and the trailers for Arcane Season 2, The Wild Robot and Paddington in Peru. Lachlan shows us an exciting new steel book and Ewan shares his thoughts on The Boys Season 4 and the first four episodes of season 2 of House of the Dragon. He talks about Boy Boys: Ride or Die, Am I Ok?, I Saw the TV Glow, and what he watched at the Annecy Animation Film Festival. Finally, the Pixar trademark 'what if 'blank' had emotions' gets another entry with Inside Out 2, and they discuss if this is a return to form for Pixar.
In a news-heavy episode, Ewan and Lachlan discuss the trailers for Venom 3, MaXXXine, Alien: Romulus, and Pharrell's Lego biopic Piece By Piece. They also cover the new Star Wars series The Acolyte, Godzilla Minus One, Poolman, The Watchers, and The Last Stop in Yuma County. Bridging the gap between movies and games, they highlight the key moments from Summer Game Fest and review the week's casting news. Finally, they discuss Ewan's favorite film of the year, Richard Linklater's Hit Man, starring Glen 'Movie Star' Powell.

Rewatch Dune
Ewan, Lachlan, and Kevin go over the release date calendar for 2024 and tell you what they are looking forward to the most. From Dune Part II, Mickey 17, and Nosferatu to a fourth Despicable Me movie I guess... there are a ton of sequels, prequels, and spin-offs as expected but also a bunch of exciting filmmakers premiering their work this year.
