It looks like everyone wants to get in on the logo redesigns, as Bing announces their new look; Steam borrows the dead-in-the-water Xbox feature, Family Sharing; a quiet update to Apple’s App Store allows users to download older versions of Apps that are compatible with their iOS version; Riddick hits Australian cinemas and Jelly’s hoping it’s good, or at least better than Chronicles of Riddick; Roland Emmerich announces his plans to reboot Stargate; and Warner Brothers and J.K. Rowling announce a spinoff to the Harry Potter franchise, based on a textbook from within the series’ universe.
Meanwhile, Jelly defends the Brony lifestyle choice and Bean uncovers the twist ending to the Harry Potter spinoff film. Also, the boys consider rebranding to be like all the big tech companies.

September 06, 201341: Wormhole Allergies
Jelly’s thoughts on Jobs; Marvel announces that James Spader will be playing Ultron in Avengers: Age of Ultron; the Coalition announces it’s plans to filter the internet if it wins the election this Saturday; Microsoft buys the Nokia devices and services division; and as Apple’s announcement of the next iPhone looms, what are we likely to see announced?
Meanwhile, the boys attempt to add mystery by obfuscating the details of a topic, and Jelly rants about the government sticking their hands where they don’t belong. Also, Bean decides that what this show really needs is a goodbye song like some of the kids shows we used to watch.
Please note: during the recording of this episode, further details about the Coalition’s internet filtering plans were revealed. Good luck with that, Turnbull, and thanks for the tipoff, Marc.

August 23, 201339: Teal Deer Dancing Over Gnomes
Everybody loves a crossover, so Katie Molloy, co-host of Silver Screen Queens visits to talk about all the things: videos that help breakdown the NBN plans; rumours surface that Bradley Cooper is up for Rocket Raccoon in Guardians of the Galaxy; and Kick-Ass 2 hits Australian cinemas, but is it as good as the first movie?
Meanwhile, Katie laments the lack of female superhero movies while Jelly laments the fact that David Tennant is probably not going to be in Guardians of the Galaxy after all. Also, Bean settles into his new house and is surprisingly quiet through the entire episode. Honestly it’s like he wasn’t even there…

Saints Row IV finally passes classification, but in the worst possible way; a new Ender’s Game trailer drops, and it’s not really selling it very well; the BBC announces that Peter Capaldi is the new Doctor; Disney and ABC are looking at creating a live action Star Wars TV show, and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. holds the keys to its success; a new technology aims to improve the speed of data transferred across copper lines; and more TV shows coming up in the next few months: The Tomorrow People, Helix, Dads, The Michael J. Fox Show and Mind Games.
Meanwhile, Jelly decides that the worst fate that can befall a movie is to simply be “meh”, and Bean wishes he was famous enough that people introduced him with the phrase “from such movies as”.
