Ashton Kutcher and a preview of 'Small Empires'

Last week, we took a break to do something fun, and this week, you get to see why. Josh and the crew took a trip to Chicago to sit down with Ashton Kutcher, the actor known for That 70s Show and Two and a Half Men but more importantly his portrayal of Steve Jobs in the upcoming biopic. It's a bold choice and Josh challenges him on his decision and performance. The two also talk about Kutcher's other life, as that of a venture capitalist and social media forerunner. After that, enjoy an early look at Small Empires, our new original series with Alexis Ohanian. It premieres Tuesday, July 30th. On The Verge 2.
