Sci-Fi: We discuss how we feel about our ages. Steven has already gotten some Harry Potter LEGO for his B-day. Devon finally saw Crimes of Grindelwald, and kind of remembers it. Devon pre-gamed before seeing the movie. Steven saw Sorry to Bother You on Devon’s recommendation. He gives us his spoiler free review. Steven also saw Rampage. It wasn’t bad. Devon read the new Thrawn book and there’s another coming out next year. We end with some inspirational posters written by AI.
