This week, we forget a bunch of names of actors and movies! We also take a look at the corporate culture at Amazon, what the next big thing is at Apple and explore the possibility of entering ‘the matrix’ at a new gaming centre in Melbourne. There’s also news from Disney’s D23 Expo and a whole lot more on episode 28 of The Lazy Couch.

Episode 28. Recorded Tuesday 18 August 2015.
