In this week’s episode we cover the latest in entertainment news.  We discuss the latest in rumors surrounding Henry Cavill’s Superman and the start of the HBO Max streaming service.  In tech news we go over the president’s executive order against social media companies and the recent hacktivism led by the hacker group Anonymous.  SpaceX makes history as they successfully launch NASA astronauts from US soil to the International Space Station for the first time.  SpaceX also had a setback in the Starship program when Mark 4 exploded during a recent test.
