0:00.0	Hello and welcome into the ringer verse, your nexus feed for all things fandom.
0:19.2	I am Ben Lindberg, senior editor for the Ringer,
0:22.3	ButtonMash host, and Master of Ceremonies here at Ringerverse Recommends. This is Ringiverse
0:27.2	Recommends for June 2026. Now, as always, we convene at the end of a month to tell you about some
0:33.7	stuff that came out recently that we liked but didn't have a chance to talk about
