In this super-sized episode, Bri and Christina talk about all the tech news they can -- and still didn’t cover everything that happened this week. First up, Magic Leap reviews are out, was it worth the hype? Then the Sarah Jeong harassment controversy is discussed (and Christina’s inadvertent involvement). In happier news, MoviePass has changed business models. Again. (Christina got her merch!) A private Tesla? What is Elon tweeting? Finally, we end with a secret segment part two.
