Andy is skeptical about the new Mortal Kombat game and does not like the music in Zelda: Breath of the Wild. They chat about "Cocaine Bear," "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania," and other Marvel movies, and "Mission Impossible." And what would a synthwave chat be without discussion of pierogies and ribs?
