  <itunes:subtitle>You read that title correctly, the second longest WGA strike is officially over! But as that ends, the SAG strike continues, and a SAG strike against the video game publishers looms. Meanwhile, final wrap ups from Tokyo Game Show, The Xbox Activision Deal is finally free to close, Jim Ryan is retiring from PlayStation, and Meta drops details about the Meta Quest 3. In Hollywood, Netflix debuts trailers for a lot of new animation, Amazon is bringing ad's to Prime Video, and Dan Harmon opens up about his working "relationship" with Justin Roiland. To cap off the show we have my favorite 10 80s Family Movies. </itunes:subtitle>

We also have a potential third strike coming as SAG-AFTRA looks to strike against the video game publishers. Doug Bowser opens up about Nintendo&#39;s future, and Skull &amp; Bones hits another hurdle. Adam Drive, Aaron Paul and others speak out against the AMPTP, Toho drops a big new Godzilla trailer, and Ahsoka was amazing. Also my top 10 80s animated movies gets a shoutout. </p>]]>

  <itunes:subtitle>Pour one out for the Homie Bob Barker, keeping all millennials and Gen Xers company on sick days. So more news out of Gamescom, including Baldur's Gate finally on Xbox, what Sonic's future holds, and how long it takes to follow the fellowship through Moria. Mortal Kombat isnt just rebooting its story, Sony jacks up its prices, and Imagine Dragons make a song for Starfield. Meanwhile, in Hollywood, WarnerBros delays movies, Disney releases streaming data, and the Late Night hosts launch a podcast. Also my favorite 80s SciFi movies. </itunes:subtitle>
