    We are back with a sizzling new episode of What Did I Miss, joined by Andrew from Your Friendly Neighborhood Gamers and Sid aka Caught Red Headed. We kick off our August bonus episode with unfiltered laughs and unpredictable twists. Andrew keeps the vibes relaxed while we all navigate the wild pop culture landscape of this past month, and Sid, despite her nerves, dives right into the fray. Plus, who can resist a playful Jeopardy game that adds an extra layer of excitement?

    Feeling weary of Disney's never-ending sequels and remakes? You're not alone. We dig deep into the fatigue surrounding sequels like Frozen 3 and Toy Story 5 and lament the lack of fresh content despite hits like Elemental and Encanto. Our conversation takes a turn towards Marvel’s overused multiverse plots and the return of familiar faces like Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom, questioning if these moves are more about grabbing attention than storytelling. Sid and Andrew share their unique perspectives on dealing with leaks in the gaming world, emphasizing the frustration and disappointment they bring to dedicated fans.

    To wrap things up, we shift our focus to the latest trends in manga and anime, spotlighting Jujutsu Kaisen and My Hero Academia, and their commitment to timely conclusions. We discuss the lasting appeal of games like Hi-Fi Rush and end the episode with a fiercely competitive trivia challenge featuring video games and emo music from the early 2000s. It's a nostalgic ride filled with heated debates, hearty laughs, and thoughtful insights, making this episode a must-listen for pop culture enthusiasts.
