Freedom Fries 2: No Russian | Ep. 344

We have learned nothing from the "freedom fries" movement. Yet again, we're seeing a performative movement to rename or destroy drinks/products/foods etc. to...somehow...support Ukraine's defense against Russian invasion. Learn why that does nothing but make you feel like you've done something (all while doing absolutely nothing). Then, AMC is bumping up prices for their blockbusters. Is it a smart business move or a sneaky way to recoup the money lost since 2020? Finally, we talk Horizon Forbidden West, sequel to the incredible first entry of now-franchise, Horizon Zero Dawn. Does it improve enough to warrant a buy? Well, with Elden Ring out now as well (and receiving an incredibly positive critical reception), you may have to pick the open world that most fits your fancy. *Beer of the Week* Schneider-Weisse Aventinus Weizen-Dopplebock
