A new segment that's a rundown of the latest current events in nerdom. This week's episode includes the MCU accounting for 30% of box office sales last year, Patton Oswalt predicted "Book of Boba Fett" opening in a "Parks & Rec" episode, the 2021 Steam Awards, "Hades" won a Hugo Award, new PS VR announcements, and a notable statement from BioWare's general manager Casey Hudson. 

For those of y'all who are unaware Spectator Mode is a sort of trending topic rundown about several current event news bits within geek culture including TV/film, gaming, comic book, and anime news.
