Welcome back to the 3rd!!!

From One Piece ep1110’s brain-melting “Distorted Future” to a Jurassic Park take that could end friendships — the 3rd Coast crew is back in full effect this week.

Daniel straight-up glitches out over One Piece (3:00), and Ryan gives a clean breakdown of some of the hottest summer anime picks you need to watch before the fall wave hits (10:13). Then we get into Kaiju No. 8's "1st episode" for Season 2

The Superman reboot gets some hype, but the real clash? Brave New World vs. Thunderbolts. Ray says Brave New World was mid, but Daniel’s calling it better than Thunderbolts with his chest. The MCU discourse gets heated.

Somewhere in the chaos, Daniel survives his first sparring match (barely), and may already have a challenger lined up. We also break down the weird side effects of adrenaline that nobody warned him about.

we hit the latest in the Diddy case, shout out Kelz Kreative Kitchen, and get deep into Marvel Rivals ahead of the new season. Also? We’re obsessed with Pokémon TCG on mobile. Virtual binders are STACKED.

Grinding of the Gears wraps it all up, with some petty takes, some justified rage, and more laughs than we deserve.

All this and more, on the 3rd

The crew reacts to Sauce Walka’s reply to Mexican OT’s n-word usage, breaks down The Long Walk trailer, and Ryan gives a front-row seat run down to what anime drops you should keep on your radar.

Daniel caught up on Fire Force just in time for us to go all in — full breakdowns, thoughts, and theories up to the Season 3 break. We also hit up the One Piece hype train, but Daniel’s still not satisfied?! Treasonous takes ahead. 💀

Then it’s SPOILER SEASON: We speedran all of Squidgame Season 3’s deadly games to deliver a full review — what we loved, what we hated, and what we’d do differently to survive.
