Was it just me or were the commercials at the Super Bowl just not as good as they used to be? Even movie trailers were lacking. Anyway, PlayStation had a state of play and announced another remaster of a game that's less than 10 years old (-_-). An American in a major Harry potter role? A law about movie roles? How bout no, and A new Rocksteady Batman???

Two Pinocchio stories this week, one about a horror movie, the other, the return of Ultron. Its the week after Gamescom, so that means its time for Call of Duty news! Plus Nintendo decided to have a direct and not talk about the Switch's successor. Sony bombs out with their latest games as a service, and Lionsgate debuts their 2nd flop of the summer. Meanwhile Ted Lasso is gearing up for a new season on the pitch, and Tarantino takes a phaser to his chances of directing a Star Trek.

Meanwhile, Deadpool & Wolverine continues to break records, Indiana Jones's hat sells for over $600k, and The Acolyte is sent packing.
