The Lazy Geeks #331: Endgame
Description
Does people’s reactions to things they read, listen, or watch on social media make them less accountable for the perpetuation of misinformation online? At what point do we stop looking at external forces to blame and start taking the blame for the proliferation of conspiracy theories and “fake news”? The topic was chosen before the shooting in New Zealand, but was timely for this episode.
It’s not all sad and depressing. Steven and Adam discuss a “Bel-Air” fan trailer about The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air in 2019, Avengers: Endgame trailer released, Deathstroke coming to Titans: Season Two, James Gunn returns to Marvel, Verizon to launch its 5G network, and The Flash solo movie may be on its last leg.
