If It Explodes, It Explodes

Collin has some serious beef with Apple this week which is weird since he’s a pretty big fan of their stuff. To be fair though, it’s with Face ID which does kind of suck. But to make matters worse, not only is Collin not happy with Apple, they announced a product cancellation. It’s probably for the best that they’re not taking the “if it explodes, it explodes” attitude that we’ve seen from other companies. (Samsung, I’m looking at you.)  Also, Netflix really isn’t making Apple’s user’s lives any easier. Maybe this week will be better.

Meanwhile, at the movies, James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad made headlines this week with some casting news and Rian Johnson makes us wonder if he understands Star Wars. Correction. We wonder if he even likes Star Wars. And Shazam! is performing better than anyone expected, both critically and at the box office. Have you seen it yet? What did you think?
