  This week: Thulio fights Karl the Fog at Outside Lands, Slayyyter saves a flop summer with "Brand New Chanel," Heated Rivalry casting discourse demands meat on the bones, Rubén turns Greg Araki's I Want Your Sex into an AMC Burbank side quest, and streamers double down on their video-podcast content-churn era.
