Guess what, there's another reason to question the existence of the PS5 Pro! The Sony Sate of Play was pretty solid today, and its mainly due to the James Bond game trailer. Microsoft pushes back its handheld plans, Nintendo keeps it close to the vest, and Activision has a blunder. Plus Netflix has its Tudum, Mark Hamill shares his future, and thank god we don't live in the Michael Bay Superman Timeline. Plus my review of Mission Impossible The Final Reckoning.

I’m not a regular talk show host. I’m a cool talk show host, is what I would say if I were Space Ghost, RIP to George Lowe. Pokémon finally gave us an update Pokémon Legends Z-A, plus what looks like a successor to Pokémon Stadium. Activision is in some hot water over AI again, but might win back hearts with Tony Hawk and Verdansk.

Episode 355: George's Vision

007, Christopher Nolan, Konami, Lucasfilm, MCU, Monolith Productions, Nickelodeon, Silent Hill, Star Wars, TV, The Dark Tower, Xbox, a24, activision, amazonmgm, andor, avatar the last airbender, avowed, ayo edebiri, barney, black ops 6, bloober team, call of duty, captain america brave new world, clayface, dave filoni, dc studios, dcu, disney+, elden ring, fable, gaming, geek, george lucas, george rr martin, harry potter, hbo, id@xbox, james bond, james gunn, john lithgow, kathleen kennedy, marvel studios, mgm, moon knight, movies, nerd, obsidian entertainment, quantic dream, spider-man 4, stephen king, the authority, the legend of korra, the punisher, tony hawk, video games, warner bros, warner bros gaming, wonder woman
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.

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???

Netflix is jacking up prices again...meanwhile the industry is hoping Rockstar charges $100 for GTA 6, here's hoping they don't. Ryan gosling may be heading to a galaxy far, far, away, and the spider-verse is going to be farther away.
