There were a ton of trailers released this week and we discuss them all.  Mulan, The Boys Season 2, the new Bond movie, Wonder Woman 1984, Black Widow, and Ghostbusters: Afterlife.  Steve gets upset talking about rumors that Rian Johnson wants to direct season 2 of the Mandolorian. Ring doorbell cameras are turning you into a neighborhood snitch.  Ken summarizes some key points from the In the Age of AI documentary published by Frontline. At the end of the show we discuss recent news on technology and the military.
