This week Jamie Reynolds (https://twitter.com/jascrey) joins us once again as we sail through China's floodplain in a Model 3, hunt down Mark Zuckerberg in the metaverse, ponder the possibility of a robot Olympics and crank the refresh handle in anticipation of a forthcoming yellow gaming sensation. Plus, we prep our popcorn for Villeneuve's Dune and Synder's Army of Thieves, and ponder the necessity of a Pokémon live-action series. Lastly: was Black Widow too little, too late?
