In our inaugural episode of Theater & Stream, the boys pick up right where they left off, discussing the pros and cons of streaming versus physical media, the strange tale of a man claiming to have created Flamin' Hot Cheetos, and a rich discussion of how art and the criticism of it is received. The Watchlist includes a make-up review for "Swarm", as well as our takes on "All the Beauty and the Bloodshed", "Lucky Hank", and "Boston Strangler". The main event for the episode is the "John Wick" franchise as a whole and compare how long it took us to put our brains back together after viewing it's 4th installment. The Mentionables this week includes the latest from Diablo IV's Beta, and Chuck shows off his Steam Deck.
