Ever wondered how a world partially crafted by George R.R. Martin would translate into a gaming experience? Anthony takes us on a journey through his harrowing adventures in "Elden Ring," battling fearsome foes and navigating an intricate lore-packed universe. We also reflect on the heartfelt feedback we received from our Lilo and Stitch episode, especially from our enthusiastic listeners in France. Plus, Dakota finally got around to watching "New Mutants," the final installment in the Fox X-Men series, and let's just say it sparked some lively discussions.

Disney fans, brace yourselves! The recent D23 announcements are nothing short of exhilarating. From a new Cars Land and a Villains-themed land in Orlando to an Indiana Jones ride replacing Dinosaur, there’s so much to look forward to. However, it's not all smooth sailing—current attractions like Tiana's Bayou Adventure are facing some hiccups. Meanwhile, we can't help but wonder what the future holds for Marvel's announced projects, given the recent inconsistencies in MCU's timeline.

"New Mutants" may not have lived up to its horror-centric hype, but its student-film like charm and unique character dynamics offer plenty to unpack. We delve into the backstories of key mutants like Magik, Wolfsbane, and Sunspot, etc. while pondering on any potential future within the X-Men universe within the MCU. Despite its many flaws, there are redeeming qualities worth discussing. And stay tuned, because after a brief break from the Fox X-Men series, we'll be back with episodes covering "Deadpool" and "Wolverine," diving deep into the iconic characters that have shaped the X-Men franchise.
