Then it's on to BlizzCon which no one knows anything about other than all attendees will receive a "collectible statue."  Will there be a Darkmoon Faire? An exclusive mount? Only time will tell. Did you hear about the massive Sonic The Hedgehog Movie fail that has Paramount and SEGA scrambling? We'll give you a rundown. Then we round out the episode with why Samantha was hanging off the arm of a stranger. Only the best movie of all time could inspire such behavior! We finish up with a quick End Game review, sans spoilers and an update on Samantha's quest to become a notable Mobile Fornite Player from the comforts of her bathtub.
