Hop on the closest wifi connection as we travel into the worldwide web to discuss the exploits of Wreck-It Ralph and Venelope in the new film "Ralph Breaks The Internet".

Speaking of Disney, a trailer for one of their upcoming releases got over 220 million views in one day. Which film caused this much commotion and how do AJ and Pixel feel about it?

Then we really get into discussing the sequel to the film we spoke about last week. How does this new film improve upon the previous entry? Is it better than the original? Do we have any idea if these characters have free will?

To avoid SPOILERS for "Ralph Breaks The Internet", skip over 40:17- 1:04:40 of the episode.

This week we take a few moments to reflect on the passing of comic book legend, Stan Lee. We share how we first discovered his work and reflect on his legacy (and some of our favourite cameos).

In preparation for the release of it's sequel, we go into the closest power bar to explore the worlds of "Wreck-It Ralph". How is it that Average Joe has never seen this movie? How many Easter Eggs has Pixel Patch discovered about this movie and it's world? Does the movie appeal to gamers and regular movie goers?
