Trekcast Supplemental A Tribute to Carl Weathers Feb 04, 2024

Show notes

With heavy hearts, we hold a tribute to Carl Weathers. Most of us grew up watching him as Apollo Creed in the Rockey movies or Greef Karga in The Mandalorian among many other roles. We'll have some reaction from his Hollywood friends. And we'll review the 1987 classic Predator where he played Dillon.
Also, we'll be talking about Joe Rogan's major renewal deal with Spotify. Is Jake Gyllenhaal as crazy as some people are saying? And roll for sale. Is Hasbro looking to sell off Dungeons & Dragons?
