In the grand absence of Gibbs and Zea, Mox and Izzy hold down the fort with a spree of entertainment unravelings in our first episode of the year. They dissect Scorsese's "Killers of the Flower Moon," seemingly crafted to keep white guilt on an all-time high. Studio Trigger's "Delicious in Dungeon" and Miyazaki's mesmerizing "The Boy and the Heron" prompt animated conversations about the latest in anime. Buckle up as the duo unveils their anticipation for upcoming anime gems that have them practically bouncing in their seats.

Mox drops into Amazon's "Fleabag" and falls head over heels for its divine writing, while a wild revelation emerges: AI scribblings and CG wizardry have costume rental bigwigs quaking in existential fear. Join the banter as they dissect how on Earth "Starfield" bagged the title for most innovative gameplay. Meanwhile, Izzy conquers the briny deeps in "Dave the Diver," treating it like a high-octane Monster Hunter quest amidst sharp-toothed predators. Hold onto your gaming hats as Mox dishes out praise for the stunning gameplay of "Lies of P," and the team reviews "Death Must Die," "Power Chord," and "Cobalt Core" in a whirlwind of game-centric glory. It's a rollercoaster ride through the realms of entertainment that you won't want to miss!

These two are shooting the shit on a wide range of exciting topics, from the cutting edge of technology to the latest in entertainment.

And speaking of innovation, they explore the world of Adobe AI and the ways AI tools are reshaping the entertainment industry. You won't want to miss their predictions on how AI could generate intrinsic value for us all.
