• Orbitkey x Disney Collections & A Famous Canadian Bear: The hosts discuss Orbitkey's limited-edition releases, diving into the Winnie the Pooh collection, its deep Canadian roots tied to Winnipeg, and the newly announced Disney villains line featuring characters like Cruella and Hades.

• Gaming Roundup: From the adrenaline-fueled Galactic Racer and Star Wars: Unlimited trading cards to a thrilling fan-made resurrection of the beloved mobile game Force Arena.

• The End of an Era: Breaking down the bittersweet news of BioWare permanently closing its doors and canceling the next Mass Effect project, alongside a look at Tippett Studios' legendary stop-motion legacy.

• Wacky Crossovers & Movies on Ice: Taika Waititi’s Star Wars film officially gets put "on ice," while ESPN and Lucasfilm announce a wild, alternate-telecast Star Wars Super Bowl.
