Amblin' Entertainment: Our hosts glide through various pieces of news and entertainment that caught their attention this last week. Andrew finds himself lost amid some very strange controversy around the game engine, Godot, while also quite enjoying Netflix's queer teenage dramedy, Heartstopper. D. Bethel admits he's a fan of the famed horror manga creator, Junji Ito, and found a lot to like in the first episode of the Adult Swim animated adaptation of his acclaimed work, Uzumaki, though it sounds like episode 2 may not quite live up to the expectations established by the premiere.

WEEK IN GEEK: Andrew is pleasantly suprised and intrigued by the recent CBS...reboot? remake? metacommentary?...of Matlock starring Kathy Bates. D.

Specifically, he's started a dive into Decoding The Last of Us: The Remnants of Humanity by Nicolas Deneschau, though they spend a fair amount talking about The Impact of Akira: A Manga [R]evolution by Rémi Lopez.

SECRET INVASION...OF A.I.: Marvel seems to have hamstrung the release of its new Disney+ series, Secret Invasion, when viewers quickly noticed the apparent artlessness of the show's opening credits and that they seemed to have used A.I. engines to create it instead of, you know, any of the artists it employs.
STIFLED PRODIGY: Paramount+ has been on a Star Trek kick for the last few years, but all might not be as rosy at it seems. Not only has it cancelled the all-ages-aimed animated series, Star Trek: Prodigy, it has also removed all the episodes from their proprietary streaming service––even though season 2 is wrapping production.
A BEAST OF A SURPRISE: D. Bethel takes a moment to discuss Transformers: Rise of the Beasts and how it pleasantly surprises in terms of actually being a good Transformers movie (who knew?). TOPICS: (00:00) Intro - June has, indeed, been busy (01:39) Secret Invasion's AI-generated opening credits. (13:45) Paramount+ cancels Star Trek: Prodigy (24:38) D. Bethel watches Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (37:16) Outro - A brief discussion of season 2 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (NO SPOILERS) (40:34) Outtakes
