We're back from our end-of-the-year break talking about what's trending with pop culture in early 2023. And with Josh on paternity leave, Friday's PCC Multiverse host Melinda Barkhouse-Ross sits in with Gerald as they discuss his time at the Consumer Electronic Show and what stood out (and what disappointed) among all the cool toys this year in Las Vegas. One of those that did stand out was TWT (ThinkWrite) Audio's great line of headphones (available on Amazon), and Gerald talks to TWT's Mike Guerena about why you need to look into them from the Showstoppers event at CES. Plus Melinda and Gerald also have thoughts on the success of the horror movie M3gan in its first weekend, and Avatar 2: The Way of Water closing in on the two billion dollar mark at the box office. All this and there's talk of why Vince McMahon has returned to active duty for the WWE, the anticipation for the debuts of Velma and the Last of Us on HBO/HBOMax, Ridley Scott getting a Gladiator 2 greenlighted with a new lead actor, and how the years of bad films critics Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert talked about helped shape today's entertainment industry.
