Episode 247: When E3 died again

Is E3 dead again? seems like it. PSVR2 dead on arrival? Halo Infinite dead? why is everything dying in the video game industry??? Netflix dominated 2022, and is looking to lose it all in 2023 with their password crackdown. It also looks like 2023 is the year of the revival with both King of the Hill and Fraiser coming back. Then in the biggest news of the week James Gunn and Peter Safran finally lay out their grand design for DC and somehow it includes Booster Gold.

Meanwhile, Halo season 2 starts production, Amazon is making a Blade Runner show, and Andor completely blows me away. In Hollywood, WB and DC continue to make strange decisions, Sony delays some movies, and Lucasfilm scares the internet.

Episode 221: WB's Killing Joke
August 3rd, 2022 | 38 mins 7 secs
activision blizzard, alicia vikander, andor, aquaman 2, arrowverse, batfleck, batgirl, batman, ben affleck, black adam, bungie, call of duty, cars, cars on the road, creed 3, dc's league of super pets, dceu, disney+, ea, ea games, game of thrones, guardians of the galaxy, hbo max, ivan drago, joker 2, justin roiland, kevin feige, lara croft, lightning mcqueen, logitech, mcu, mgm, movies, netflix, nichele nichols, nintendo, pat carrol, pixar, playstation, playstation 5, pokémon, pokémon scarlet, pokémon violet, prime video, ps5, rick and morty, rocky, sega, sega genesis, sega genesis mini, shazam 2, she-hulk, snyderverse, sony, sony playstation, star trek, star wars, sylvester stallone, tencent gaming, the avengers, the boys, the cw, the flash, the infinity saga, the multiverse saga, tomb raider, tony hawk, tony hawk's pro skater, tv shows, video games
Well I'm thoroughly convinced Warner Bro's has no idea how to run film franchises anymore. As Batgirl has been shelved, potentially forever, and I mean forever. PlayStation kills a feature no one ever used, Streaming heats up this August, and the Arrowverse may have a end date.

Hey Taxi! Yes Crazy Taxi is coming back! Ads in Video Games? How do you feel? Amy Hennig is making a Star Wars game again, this is glorious news. Seth MacFarlane is making a Ted Prequel show, and I'm all for it. Netflix is facing a subscriber issue, and is Jack Bauer back? not yet. Meanwhile the Halo show is boring, and TV shows need to stop having filler episodes. Also Fantastic Beasts is not as bad as the internet wants you to believe.

What do Sony and LEGO and Epic have to do with each other? Just a thing called the METAverse. Kingdom Hearts 4 is coming, and the world let out a collective sigh. HBO Max is increasing its DC output, while the future of the Fantastic Beast franchise is in doubt.

If that headline doesn't give it away, then you are listening to the wrong podcast, hehe. GTA6 is finally announced, but don't expect to hear about it again for quite some time. The Nintendo Switch is getting hit with a lot of yesterdays games, and you know what, that's ok, cause its getting some new ones too. Meanwhile, expect the super bowl to have a ton of teases for future entertainment, including Amazon's Lord of the Rings, and Disney+ says screw it and finally announces the release date of Kenobi. Also Lord & Miller gush about MIB 23 the movie that never was, the Oscars half snub DUNE, and Tom Holland is just trying to play every PlayStation Mascot at this point.

Meanwhile Ubisoft is gonna make NFTs?

Also Spider-Man Across the Spiderverse gets a trailer, Kevin Feige confirms Charlie Cox's retrun, and Patty Jenkins isnt out of Rogue Squadron yet.
