In the first of two podcasts this week, we break down a bunch of news out of Comic-Con – including announcements and trailers from Marvel and DC – and Jonathan offers some thoughts on the new _Ghostbusters _movie (it’s great!) and the new PS4 JRPG, _I am Setsuna _(it’s also great!). Then, for our main topic, we review this weekend’s major new release, _Star Trek Beyond, _a strong return to form after the franchise went a little off the rails with _Star Trek Into Darkness. _

Enjoy, and come back on Wednesday as we prepare for the release of _Jason Bourne _with a retrospective of the original _Bourne _trilogy!
