Like the rest of the world, the Nuts may or may not have seen some or none of the recent boxing match featuring Mike Tyson and Jake Paul. They delve into the challenges of streaming events and the metrics used to gauge audience engagement. The conversation shifts to holiday entertainment, including a review of the movie 'Hot Frosty' and the latest season of 'Yellowstone', with a focus on the confusing narrative structure of the show. The conversation also touches on upcoming films, including Gladiator 2 and Moana, and the nostalgia surrounding animated adaptations.
