Summary

Ice Cube saves the world from aliens via Amazon Prime and Microsoft Teams?! You all demanded it, so Paul, June, and Jason got their butts into the studio to cover all the mouse-clicking, keyboard-clacking, and front-facing video calls in the new War of the Worlds reboot. They discuss the Tesla ambulance, how Ice Cube plays a straight up stalker, the heroic Amazon Prime Air Drone, the packing tape tourniquet, the bonkers computer drop-down menu options, if the aliens want our nude pics, and so much more. Plus, the gang debate the correct way to pronounce "data" and Paul goes out of his way to clarify he knows his own children.
