To kick off the 27th episode of the show, Eric Switzer is joined by Jamie Latour, Issy van der Velde, and George Foster to go over the biggest news of the week. Some of the topics that are discussed include the controversy surrounding The Sims 4 and its latest DLC pack intially going unreleased in Russia, Paramount confirming a third Sonic the Hedgehog movie alongside a Knuckles spin-off, and a BioShock movie that's currently in the works at Netflix.

Next up, Eric, George, and Jamie discuss some of the biggest gaming releases of the past few weeks. First up is Sifu, which George reviewed for the site and gave a 4/5. Both he and Jamie are fond of it, although they recognise that it has issues with its difficulty and explaining some of its game mechanics. After that Jamie and Eric discuss Lost Ark, which Eric has put some time into and had fun with, although is also questioning why it's become one of the biggest games of all time.
