In this special summer edition Year in Review episode, we are joined by our friends Lafayette and Carlos from the Nerds Talking Podcast. We take a take a look back at the critical issues of 2023: streaming services, the rise of 'content', and the potential return of sailing the high seas for Australians.

This episode we take a deep dive into what worked and didn't work for us this year. From poor adaptations of IP, to pumped up series that fell flat, to new games that we loved. We take on studio amalgamations, the loss of mid budget films, discuss the rise of 'content', let our American friends know about the Australian Office of Film and Literature Classification and how they censor and ban games and films, and fill them in on the friendly Australian and New Zealand rivalry.

Then we turn our gaze to take a bit of a look at what is ahead in 2024, and what we are looking forward to in gaming, tv, and film and (in one notable case) in literature.
