On this week of Nicks Nerd News, we are joined by guest hosts Dan and Shaan. You can expect less of a focus on the top stories, considering we recorded this episode two days after episode 366. The guys cover a few stories from the world of gaming and cinema, while also discussing the games they have been enjoying and things they are excited about. We cover topics such as AI Darth Vader joining the Fortnite universe, Red Dead Redemption possibly coming to the Switch 2, first impressions on Expedition 33: Clair Obscur, Oblivion Remastered Vs. Skyrim, Marvel Rivals Vs Overwatch, Wes Andersons upcoming film, news on the upcoming Miami Vice Movie and many more. We hope you enjoy the episode!

Episode 355: George's Vision

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.
