Do we all really want George's Vision? Or are we just saying that because its cool now? Is an Elden Ring movie coming? Will Fable release in 2026? I'm not really sure, but we do know the Wonder Woman game is no longer happening. With 007's future now in flux, Harry Potter's is more certain. The MCU changes some dates, and the DCU wipes one of the slate.

Are two of Hollywood's oldest studios about to merge? It might be a more plausible outcome then you think as Warner and Paramount have talks. A24 and Kojima make a match made in heaven, Insomniac is hacked, and we learn their future. PS5 continues Sony's dominance in the gaming space, and Bobby Kotick is finally leaving Activision. Several streaming shows are getting renewed for their final seasons, and Curb is ending. Pretty, Pretty, Pretty, not good. The MCU's second greatest villain may not actual be a thing anymore, and I watched Barbie. Plus my top 10 Christmas movies.
