We kick off discussing the impending Royal Wedding (which is hours away at the time of writing) and discuss its relevance or irrelevance in the modern society. Is it important? Does anyone care? We also take a look at a curious video that surfaced online looking at British police arresting some street performers based on the “potential” to disrupt the peace… the word is that some people are being shuffled off and out of the way of the Royal Wedding. We discuss the validity of the claims and the concerns about such law enforcement practices.

Jumping out of the media hype, we dive into the Marvel movies, with the news that Samuel L. Jackson‘s script for The Avengers has been stolen and is apparently up for sale. We examine the screenshots online and try to work out whether it’s legit or a hoax. From there we also talk about the upcoming comic book movies this year, including Thor, Captain America, and Green Lantern. We also take a glimpse of Arnold Schwarzenegger being confirmed for the next Terminator film and… wait, what?

In other news this week, we take a look at the Sony PlayStation Network hacking fiasco, and how users’ information has been compromised. While the company insists financial information was encrypted, the security breach is still of major concern. Meanwhile, Nintendo confirms their new console. In closing, we briefly discuss the new season of Doctor Who.
