    <![CDATA[<p>You read that title correctly, the second longest WGA strike is officially over! But as that ends, the SAG strike continues, and a SAG strike against the video game publishers looms. Meanwhile, final wrap ups from Tokyo Game Show, The Xbox Activision Deal is finally free to close, Jim Ryan is retiring from PlayStation, and Meta drops details about the Meta Quest 3. In Hollywood, Netflix debuts trailers for a lot of new animation, Amazon is bringing ad&#39;s to Prime Video, and Dan Harmon opens up about his working &quot;relationship&quot; with Justin Roiland. To cap off the show we have my favorite 10 80s Family Movies. </p>]]>

Any who, we had a Pokémon-less Nintendo Direct, but it was heavy on the Zelda, The UK and the EU write stern warning in regards to the Activision Microsoft Deal. Sony has a great gaming quarter, and the Switch jumps to #3 all time. The Justin Roiland drama heats up to a new level, and makes me happy about Rick &amp; Morty's future, The Bad Batch may have peaked, and we get to return to Point Place, Wisconsin for another summer.
