Attack of the clowns, cheese on cheese, brain teeth. We click with Jisoo and learn how to sing Diggy Diggy Hole. We speculate on what Guy-Fi is, and we kick off Slewfoot: A Tale of Bewitchery by Brom.

What's the best SciFi/Fantasy book title. Are there too many Bobs? What about Murderbots?

Apple TV is chasing the prestige-TV crown that HBO once owned. Is Apple TV the new HBO? Meanwhile, Instagram wants to become YouTube.

On the latest @swordandlaser We check in on our June reading of Red Rising by Pierce Brown. Why do romantasy people like this? Veronica is making a tincture. And we have fun coming up with a Sci-Fi/Fantasy equivalent of the EGOT.

Tom and Veronica remember when they read a book. It was called Slow Gods by Claire North. And they're definitely not just reading the latest Dungeon Crawler Carl book instead of that one or the next one, Red Rising.

The movie Backroom has upended how Hollywood thinks about filmmaking. @shwood and I aren't surprised, but we do have ideas about where this goes next. https://t.co/88hO1JHbDD

I had a great time talking with @andybeach about why AI is perceived both hyper-negatively AND overly positively, depending on who you ask. Also, why I try not to even use the term AI if I can help it. https://t.co/nqM4nSyIyU

YouTube is TV now. Watch Cordkillers.

Is Disney right to hold on to its old cable channels and treat them like studio brands? And AMC gambles on live music to bring people to theaters. Watch Cordkillers! https://t.co/97rLBLm6vB
