Well Star Wars fans can continue to argue, because Kathleen Kennedy stepping down certainly wont stop them. But something to stop to listen to, is George RR Martin telling all to the Hollywood Reporter. Plus, Fallout Season 2 is not falling behind season 1, people just don't remember how TV works. Ubisoft decided to lay a big one on the gaming industry by cancelling another Prince of Persia game, and Netflix wants to keep WB movies on the big screen if the merger goes through. That and more on this weeks episode.

Its our 400th episode! We might be recording a day early but that doesn't mean the news stops. Apparently the Doomsday trailers are a story, not a cohesive one though.

Paramount needs to give up on Warner Bros, they ain't letting you buy them. CES 2026 is in full swing and with it both vaporware and the future of tech. Ubisoft pulls a bad move and closes a studio that just unionized. Stranger Things ended on a high note, despite what the internet thinks. Plus everything Nick's is looking forward to in 2026.

We should all have courage like David Zaslav (；￣Д￣）. Lord Gaben has been required to return to the US for court, more layoffs hit the game development world, and CD Projekt Red is really gearing up for the Witcher 4. Meanwhile The Hunger Games prequel is just wrapping up the box office, Taika wants to make sure his Star Wars will be good, and Chris Evans is totally unware of the return of Cap. Also I give my top 10 90s Drama films.

E3 might be cancelled, but what happened over the last few days sure feels like E3. We had an Xbox Games Showcase, Ubisoft Forward, Summer Games Fest, Capcom Showcase, and and whole lot more. And boy, how about that Starfield Direct, that is the first time I've been excited for a Bethesda game. Also the Writers strike claims new victims, unsurprisingly, Netflix gets new subscribers, and stick around for a spoiler filled review of Transformers: Rise of the Beasts.

Those Microsoft Layoffs may have a greater impact on gaming then we might realize, especially for Master Chief. NVIDIA and Google voice their concerns over the Activision deal, but stop short of jumping in Sony's bandwagon. Pour one out for Stadia, as today was its final day. Mark Hamill gives and update on playing the Joker, Spielberg wants to jump into TV, the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers are coming back. Meanwhile the BatVerse is more real then you realize, James Cameron hits another Billion, and Rainbow Six is coming to the big screen.
