Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Eric Bolden, Marty Jencius, Jim Rea, and Web Bixby look at an extended cut of Napoleon and who wants a longer movie and look at a smart watch band that can give you hand gestures. The MacVoices Live! panel also considers a new move by the EU regulators and debate whether it is just the calm before the storm, and focus on yet another positive AirTag story.
