Welcome back to another episode of Late Night Live! Grab your controllers and your lightsabers, because tonight’s lineup is absolutely stacked.
First up, we are diving into the highly anticipated release of 007 First Light. IO Interactive (the mastermind developers behind Hitman) just dropped their brand-new James Bond origin story. Does this game finally deliver the top-tier espionage thriller we've been waiting for? We discuss the Glacier engine's insane graphics, the mix of tactical stealth and loud action, and whether this young, inexperienced Bond actually earns his 00 status.
Then, we head to a galaxy far, far away to settle a massive debate: Is the brand-new theatrical release, The Mandalorian & Grogu, actually good? Jon Favreau just brought our favorite bounty hunter and his little green son to the big screen, but audiences and critics are split. Is it a perfect, fun summer blockbuster that brings the magic of Star Wars back to the cinema, or does it just feel like an over-budgeted, two-hour TV side quest? We hold nothing back!
Finally, we are breaking down a wild story happening right in our own backyard. A Bricks & Minifigs franchise in Salem-Keizer, Oregon is currently at the center of a massive internet controversy over a disputed Star Wars LEGO collection estimated to be worth between $150,000 and $200,000. The collection was reportedly placed on consignment by Bryan Mansell and his father in 2023. We unpack the allegations surrounding this deal, including the former store owners claiming their business was seized by corporate, the viral investigation by YouTuber Reckless Ben, and the ongoing legal disputes. We also cover the response from Bricks & Minifigs corporate, who state they were not party to the agreement and that consignment is prohibited under their franchise guidelines.
What approach are you taking in the new Bond game—going in completely silent or guns blazing? And did The Mandalorian & Grogu live up to the seven-year theatrical hype for you? Drop your thoughts in the comments below!
