Hotline Feature – Germain Lussier: X Pro Paywall Shock, Project Hail Mary's Record Run, and For All Mankind's Final Season

Dave Weekley and Germain Lussier of Gizmodo cover a busy week in tech and entertainment. The segment opens with breaking news that X Pro — the platform's successor to TweetDeck — has been moved without notice to a $40-per-month paywall, a fivefold price increase that catches both hosts off guard. Lussier shares his reaction to Project Hail Mary's massive opening weekend, which surpassed all projections and sparked early conversation about a sequel tied to author Andy Weir's next move. The two also discuss For All Mankind's fifth season premiere on Apple TV+ and its just-announced sixth and final season, and close with a look at the upcoming sci-fi film The End of Oak Street starring Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor.
