The robots are coming, and Jeremy might be their first victim! This week on Rise of the Podcast, Jeremy recounts his standoff with a relentless Menards cleaning robot, the crew discovers that bullying ChatGPT might actually get results, and an AI-generated Minecraft pinball game leads to some hilarious technological failures. Then things get spooky as ChatGPT Theater unleashes a Halloween nightmare before we dive into a heated tier-list ranking of horror's most iconic characters. From Dracula and Freddy Krueger to Jack Skellington and Matt Rasmussen, nobody is safe from judgment. Plus, we settle the ultimate nerd debate: Could Darth Vader defeat Sauron, and would a lightsaber destroy the One Ring? We also reminisce about our favorite Star Wars experiences, ramble on with stories of the good ol' days, nerd out about current and upcoming Star Wars shows, books, and games, and talk a little bit about life.
