Doom Scrolling Intro
This episode is chock-full of geeky goodness: Steph gives an early, spoiler-light check-in on Resident Evil Requiem, including the dual-play vibes between Grace (FBI agent) and Leon S. Kennedy — plus why Leon feels like a totally different game to control.
Then Joe drops a “Florida Man” story that’s so dumb it almost deserves respect: an alleged Target trading card theft scheme using 99-cent taco seasoning packets at self-checkout, which turns into a bigger rant about adult scalpers treating Pokémon cards like stock options.
In Geeking Out, you get big Apple TV+ updates: For All Mankind Season 5 gets a trailer and a premiere date, plus news of the Soviet POV spinoff Star City. Then it’s over to the MonsterVerse — Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 2 talk, followed by a full-on MonsterVerse trivia showdown: Steph vs the Titans.
Finally, Here’s What I Would Do returns with two listener dilemmas:
Alex (Signal Hill): a neighbor treating a paid, assigned parking spot like “community property” (tow truck time).
Nicole (Pasadena): a friend turning the group chat into a self-optimization TED Talk with step counts, discipline quotes, and voice notes.
Also mentioned: Daft Punk drops a new “Human After All” video (song isn’t new, video is), and the Foos tease an upcoming Japan trip with plans to record while traveling.
