343i, Batgirl, DC, E3, EA, Halo, Hulu, Jordan Peele, MCU, Microsoft, Netflix, Phil Spencer, Sony, Spider-Man, Star Wars, TV shows, Tomb Raider, Xbox, activision blizzard, akira, amanda waller, amazon prime video, amazon studios, apex legends, aquaman, avatar the way of water, bad boys 4, bane, batman, capcom, cowboy bebop, creature commandos, creed, dave bautista, dc elseworlds, dcu, disney+, esa, ezra miller, fraiser, games with gold, glass onion, green lanterns, halo infinite, hbo, hbo max, james cameron, james gunn, john wick 4, king of the hill, michael b jordan, midnighter, mlb the show, movies, national treasure, naughty dog, one piece, paramount+, peacemaker, pennyworth, peter safran, playstation studios, psn+, psvr2, resident evil 4, respawn entertainment, showtime, sony playstation 5, squid game, star wars jedi survivor, stranger things, streaming, street fighter 6, succession, super heroes, supergirl, superman, the authority, the bad batch, the flash, the last of us, the thunderbolts, titanfall, tobey mcguire, uncharted, video games, warner bros, wonder woman, wwe, xbox series x, xbox studios
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
Batgirl, Ben Affleck, Cars, EA, EA Games, MCU, Netflix, Playstation, Rick and Morty, Sega Genesis, Sony, Star Trek, Star Wars, TV shows, Tomb Raider, activision blizzard, alicia vikander, andor, aquaman 2, arrowverse, batfleck, batman, black adam, bungie, call of duty, cars on the road, creed 3, dc's league of super pets, dceu, disney+, game of thrones, guardians of the galaxy, hbo max, ivan drago, joker 2, justin roiland, kevin feige, lara croft, lightning mcqueen, logitech, mgm, movies, nichele nichols, nintendo, pat carrol, pixar, playstation 5, pokémon, pokémon scarlet, pokémon violet, prime video, ps5, rocky, sega, sega genesis mini, shazam 2, she-hulk, snyderverse, sony playstation, sylvester stallone, tencent gaming, the CW, the avengers, the boys, the flash, the infinity saga, the multiverse saga, tony hawk, tony hawk's pro skater, 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.

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.
