This time we're ready for MacBook Pro news: we discuss Apple's massive thermal throttling but and how we got here. Then, Christina takes a break so that Bri and Simone can bandy about rumors on Microsoft's new game-streaming console. Close the show out with a discussion of James Gunn's firing from Disney after a right-wing campaign.
