In Episode 132 of Up Your Alley, we’re diving into entertainment across every medium — from sci-fi theology to sword-swinging samurai and the collapse of console exclusivity.

🎥 We talk Materialists, a surreal new film that blends capitalism, identity, and sci-fi in bizarre but compelling ways

🚗 Then it’s Twisted Metal Season 2 on Peacock — does it keep the momentum going? Is it still good dumb fun or just dumb?

🍿 Jake hit up Alamo Drafthouse’s Ghost of Yotei’s Samurai Cinema Festival and watched Lone Wolf and Cub, one of the most influential and stylish samurai films of all time

🎮 Finally, we talk about the gaming bombshell: Helldivers 2 and Gears of War are crossing platforms, effectively ending the console wars as we know them.

Are we in the post-war era of gaming? Can you just… play what you want, where you want? (Kinda.)
