The Nothing Phone has arrived, and it's unlike anything we've seen in years. With its transparent design showcasing internal components, glowing notification glyphs, and impressive specs, this British tech company is bringing innovation back to a smartphone market drowning in similar black rectangles.

Between Disney adventures and anime announcements, this episode takes you on a journey through the current landscape of geek culture. Lexi's four-day Disney vacation reveals how the parks have evolved, with Star Wars characters now seemingly more prominent than Mickey and Minnie themselves. Meanwhile, the anime world is heating up with July bringing second seasons of fan-favorites Kaiju Number Eight and Dandadan, while Marvel faces tough decisions about potentially recasting Jonathan Majors as Kang despite his stellar performance.
Remember Backyard Baseball? That wholesome gaming experience from your childhood is making a triumphant return to mobile and Steam on July 8th, complete with the original MLB teams.
