The ESPYs was a great time last night with Steph Curry working the crowd like a pro on the stage. With Comic-Con starting this week, there's been whispers about big news dropping. Are Disney Plus' newest editions a sign of more to come? We finally get a look at what seems to be the end of the Halloween franchise with the movie's first teaser. Asif and I also take some time to talk business with Netflix reporting massive watch times and more following their quarterly earnings report. Also, streaming services see a 24% boom, serving up a bigger piece of the Television pie.

We've also got some reviews this week including Better Call Saul, South Park The Streaming Wars 2, and Beavis and Butthead Do The Universe.
