Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's the latest with gaming, TV shows, comics. You know,
they're really important stuff though, Mike Jones, Minican on DC
one oh one.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
With so many video games now, companies decide to just
shut their servers down and that's the end of it,
even though people paid for the games. A new bill
in California is in the works that would require those
companies to either make an offline mode to be able
to play forever or give out a refund. To Protect
Our Games Act has the support of the organization Stop
Killing Games, and a similar movement is happening in the UK.

(00:31):
I hope this passes in California and the UK and
becomes the standard everywhere instead of spending so much in
a game and then a year later it's just gone.
When you talk about Jaws, of course the Shark is
the first thing that comes to mind, but there's also
Quint's vote the Orca. A Jaws super fan in Wales,
John Fieldhouse has spent the last two years building a
replica of the boat and loading it up with props

(00:53):
that look like they're from the film. Fieldhouse has been
a big Jaws fan since the movie first came out,
and now that the Orca two is completed, he wants
other fans to come and see it for themselves. Get
