The latest episode of Geek Freaks Podcast is packed with debates, industry insights, and the biggest stories in gaming and Hollywood. Frank and Thomas start off with an epic versus showdown: Drax vs. Chewbacca—who would win? While Drax has brute strength and combat experience, Chewbacca’s iconic bowcaster is a formidable weapon. The battle quickly expands into a larger discussion: how would Guardians of the Galaxy fare against Star Wars?
Beyond the fantasy fights, the episode takes a deep dive into the shifting landscape of Hollywood. With Governor Gavin Newsom’s LA RISE initiative and the Stay in LA campaign attempting to keep productions in California, filmmakers face a choice between nostalgia and financial practicality.

They also explore the growing dominance of live-service games, questioning if Marvel Rivals is the rare success story or if players are tired of microtransactions.
