Pop Culture Cosmos #259- It's A High Score For The Free Guy, Will Gamers Abandon Abandoned, and What Truly Makes A Hit Movie in 2021?

Free Guy gets some positive news coming off its debut at #1 this weekend at the box office and Josh and Gerald talk about how this once Fox movie stuck in limbo now becomes an established IP with its sights set on the future. Plus the guys go over the latest controversy in video games with the upcoming PS5 title Abandoned, why the Free-To-Play hit Splitgate could keep Halo fans playing it instead of Halo Infinite this fall, and we share in-depth thoughts on what really makes for a hit movie in a pandemic environment in 2021.
