This week's discussion is on the 20th Anniversary of the Xbox 360!

This week Fred has been sick, so we push the 360 Anniversary to next week and discuss a few modern news topics. In addition he also discusses Cronos: The New Dawn and for one more thing, The Running Man (both 1987 and 2025 versions). No timecodes this week, they will return next week.
