In this episode of NAFC, the team takes a hilarious trip down memory lane, reminiscing about how the podcast got started during the pandemic—complete with a surprising connection to glory holes. Yeah, it’s that kind of episode.

The conversation quickly takes a left turn as they discuss the strange legal fine print of Disney Plus: Apparently, if you sign up, you can’t sue them for wrongful death at their parks. From there, they pivot to the absurd idea that "AI" now stands for "All Indians." Yes, it’s as wild as it sounds.

On the gaming front, Baldur's Gate 3 snagged a Hugo Award, which has everyone buzzing. Izzy celebrates beating "Octopath Traveler 1" and is already diving into the sequel. Meanwhile, Gibbs shares his thoughts on "Furiosa," the latest installment in the Mad Max saga, and it sparks yet another conversation about whether anyone can be trusted to make reboots anymore.

The team also takes a moment to discuss the surprising fact that Ms. Rachel is beating Disney at appealing to kids. It seems Disney is shifting its focus to Millennials now, leaving the younger generation to other influencers. And just when you thought the bumper sticker conversation was over, Gibbs has found yet another confusing one to share.

Wrapping things up, the crew dives into their review of the movie Predestination, followed by a quick look at The Terror Live. Expect strong opinions and plenty of laughs as they dissect these films with their usual blend of sarcasm and wit.
