In entertainment news this week we discuss the Sonic the Hedgehog movie.  We give our thoughts on the first look of the new Batsuit. We also cover the star studded voice cast for Masters of the Universe.  In tech news this week there were many stories coming out of China. Four Chinese nationals were indicted in the Equifax hack from 2017 and the FBI held a conference to educate companies on the threat of Chinese hacking.  There is a mysterious signal coming from a distant galaxy and Russian satellites are tracking and following our own.
