Yes, Rick and Morty are still a thing and yes we still love it…though it seems like they should have more than 9 seasons. Hasn’t it been on for like 85 years? Anyway, Titanic meme aside, Iain breaks down the opening of season 9 with episodes 1 & 2 dropping together. Is it a strong start to the season, or do they end a storyline earlier than they should have? What did we learn last week? Both things can be true at the same time. Let’s see what Iain has to say about the emotional whiplash that is the beginning of the season.

We’re back in Westeros, baby! But we may need to move to Essos for the chaos happening. Join Michelle (ME!) and Lily K as we dive into season 3 of House of The Dragon on Decoding Dragons! We’re in it for the long run, incest and all, so come join us on our discussion of each episode! Does the bloodiest battle in Westerosi history get the screen time it deserved? Are they going to ‘fix’ Rhaenyra’s character? Dive into the dragon fire and find out!

TIP - Oh Hey! Us again. Another friendly reminder.

There are audio versions of every Watching Now available wherever you listen to your podcasts, so if watching isn’t your jam, plug your headphones in and carry on! While you’re at it, a review would help build the community even more. So turn on, tune in, nerd out, and leave a review when you can!

Like a loaded potato. Or loaded fries. Or loaded anything-else-you-can-put-taters-on. It’s LOADED with a game library that includes 20% off new game releases. Have you been wanting to try Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced?! Here’s your chance at the lowest price possible.

Wanna brag about it? Don’t miss our Google Hang on June 30th! Check out Circle for more details for the date and time and the super secret password. Like a speakeasy. But a fun one. (all speakeasy’s are fun)

Have you paid attention to Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest, PlayStation’s State of Play, XBox’s Game Showcase, & Nintendo Direct and can’t remember which game to be excited about? Great! Iain has taken all of the announcements and compiled a top 10 list of the games to look forward to. Even if there were rumors about it being made, the announcement seals the deal and let’s us mentally preorder! Did Iain nail it or did he leave something off? Let us know!

I know we’ve only briefly mentioned it, but a massive gaming franchise has decided to close it’s server doors. Of course I’m talking about the end of Bungie and Destiny 2. Did I mean to put those two in the same sentence? Why yes I did because it is popular belief that with the halt of live updates to the game, Bungie will suffer and DIE lost money. Can you relate to Tim’s raid-friend story and feel the loss of a steady in everyone’s life? I know we can in this household. What do you think about the end of Destiny 2?
