Chris, Franco, and Jonathan discuss Chris’s overhaul of his Plex media library (over 30,000 files), using tools like Filebot and Tiny Media Manager and stressing the importance of consistent naming. In one-minute reviews they cover Silo season three, Incorporated, Ghost Stories, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters season two, Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair, and Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, plus Jonathan’s praise for the filmed stage production of Hadestown and hopes for more theatrical releases of Broadway shows. News includes PlayStation ending physical media releases in 2028, Crunchyroll putting its store behind a higher-tier paywall, Disney’s $220 Mandalorian and Grogu physical edition, and multiple San Diego Comic-Con announcements spanning Marvel, Spaceballs, DC’s Lanterns, and an Avatar: The Last Airbender movie limited to Paramount+ with no physical release. They review Hitchcock’s The Birds, noting its suspense, effects, production trivia, and give scores of 90, 90, and 80, then preview Muppet Treasure Island next.
