Speaker 1 (00:01):
Movies, video games, tech. He didn't get the nerd news
you need with Mike Jones Minicon on DC one on one.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Top Chef will be back for its twenty fourth season,
and with the success of the show at all of
the spinoffs, host Kristin Kish thinks that it's time to
op the Annie. She just did an interview with Deadline
where she said that the prize money should be increased,
where right now the winner gets two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars, but she told Bravo that it needs to
go up a lot more to a million bucks. But

(00:28):
then on the other side, that's a lot of money
and it can't just magically happen. There's a new graphic
novel that was just announced that it caught my attention,
Kill Ride. It's about a roller coaster designer who makes
the biggest and scariest ride ever and this ride causes
physical and psychological harm to the riders. Now he's gonna
do whatever he can to shut it down in the
other rides at the Over the Top Pandemonia Theme Park.

(00:51):
Kill Ride will be coming in twenty twenty seven, and
bonus points to the creators, we're having the rides Hill'll
be six hundred and sixty six feet tall. That's a
nice touch. Get your daily pop culture run down around
