Hello Omni Talk Fans! The title of this week’s newsletter has me feeling like I walked out of a 1980’s Saturday night movie marathon, minus the sugar rush from the Surge Cola and Mr. Bulky bag full of sour balls and jawbreakers.
We’ve got Gorillas on the move, Gopuff ghost kitchens, and Flipkart topping our headlines this week and there doesn’t appear to be any slowing down of the news.
Did you know that we consolidate all the stories we talk about here, and in our Fast Five and condense them into one monthly report for you? You can find out what you and all the Omni Talk fans out there are reading and talking about and it’s available in the link above or download it here.

Stick with us here at Omni Talk and we’ll make sure we’re keeping you up to date on all the latest so you can spend your time focusing on fun things like dreaming of space tourism or dreaming of watching the new Space Jam movie from the comfort of a movie theatre chair on earth if that’s more your style.
