🎙️ Episode 120 – DMG Gaming Podcast (August 5, 2025) features fiery takes and fan-fueled debate as Grant and Ed unload on the absurd backlash against Sydney Sweeney’s American Eagle ad. Critics calling it “eugenics propaganda” get roasted, especially Mark Lamont Hill’s claims that her blonde, blue-eyed image promotes white supremacy. The hosts defend Sweeney’s charm and smart branding, branding the outrage as performative and hypocritical.

🎮 In gaming news, Nintendo’s latest Direct stirs the pot with announcements like Monster Hunter Stories 3 and the charming new RPG Adventures of Elliot.
