    166. A 2025 Summer Box Office Postmortem

    Fall is here everybody! Here in the Newstbot household, that means plans to concur Earth have been put on hold as my ex-wife (I've been divorced for awhile now don't worry about it) introduced me to pumpkin spice lattes and the theatrical film The Exorcist: Believer. So I will be too busy enjoying those things to rally my army of fascist, loyalist drones and take control of all the world's global infrastructure in one fell swoop. Between trips to Starbucks and studying the creative genius of David Gordon Green, I've been listening to this new podcast on these topics!
