George has moved on, we need to accept that, elsewhere in a Galaxy Far Far Away Ben Solo is staying dead. Warner Bros has finally accepted its time to sell, after saying no to unwanted solicitors, Amazon paid pennies for James Bond. Xbox is sticking with the high prices, ಠ_ಠ, and more drama out of Ubisoft and Assassin's Creed. That and more on tonight's episode.

One Battle After Another, is what I should rename this podcast, because the movie was that good, and a full review is inside. Plus Xbox takes another self imposed L, Sony gives itself a gold medal, and EA goes private. The Simpsons are headed back to the big screen, and an AI "actress" has Hollywood in a fervor. Plus Forza Horizon is finally headed to the land of the Rising Sun, and Ubisoft gives Assassin's Creed a new home.

While there are fun things to talk about, like the Muppets returning, Nintendo directs, the 90s Console wars, and the new Anaconda. There are also not fun things, like Nintendo and Pokémon behind paywalls, HBO and passwords, and The Long Walk. And at the end, a serious discussion about a topic I try to stay away from, but luckily, that's at the end. Enjoy
