If you are looking for a review of the odyssey, you wont find it here, but we have other exciting news. Like Disney cuts Pixar staff, even after making a billion dollars. Or Is Nintendo justified in telling consumers to stuff it after tariff refunds? PlayStation ain't budging on ditching discs, and some sales numbers back them up. But hey, at least we got a trailer for Avengers Doomsday!

XBOX finally reveals its reset, as the Sony fallout continues. Are the console wars back on, or are we marching to a collapse. Jackass: Best and Last is definitely the last, but is it the best? The Emmy nominees are out, Hollywood shifts to gaming, and what's is going on with Fast & Furious?

The Oscars were this weekend, and surprise surprise, PTA won big, while Chalamet went home with nothing. We also got two big trailers this week, Dune Pt. 3 and Spider-Man: Brand New Day! Pokémon Go was used to farm us for AR images and map data, and Nvidia says we're wrong about DLSS5. Plus we have the Scooby gang all casted for Netflix's upcoming adaptation.

Episode 405: The San Diego Freeway Cast
February 18th, 2026 | 1 hr 11 mins

A week after the Super Bowl and we finally got The Mandalorian and Grogu trailer, took long enough. Also Warner Bros seems to finally relent and gives Paramount 7 days to try again. If the Simpsons ever ends, which is probably more likely than you think, it wont spend time on a grand finale. PlayStation held a state of play last week, and it was heavy on Kratos, plus if you are waiting on a steam deck, blame AI.

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.

a christmas carol, aang the last airbender, ai, amazon prime video, avatar the last airbender, avatar: fire and ash, avengers: doomsday, battlefield 6, beauty and the beast, bethesda, braniac, bungie, call of duty, captain america, christmas movies, christopher nolan, clair obscur: expidition 33, daisy ridley, dcu, disney, ea, ebenezer scrooge, fallout, fifa, games workshop, gaming, gaston, geek, history, horizon zero dawn, id software, io interactive, james bond 007 first light, james cameron, jason isaacs, johnny depp, labubu, lex luthor, macauly culkin, magnificent 7, marathon, mcu, movies, naughty dog, nerd, netflix games, nintendo, paramount, peanuts, perfect dark, respawn entertainment, roblox, rupert grint, sony, spider-punk, spider-verse, spuerman, squadron 42, squareenix, star citizen, star trek, star trek strange new worlds, star wars jedi, tangled, tencent, the hunger games, the odyssey, the terminator, titanfall, tomb raider, tv, video games, vince zampella, walt disney pictures, warhammer 40k, wii, wiimote, xbox game studios, youtube
Star Trek has found its new Bones and Sulu, yet we have to wait a while before we actually see them. The video game industry lost a true legend, and we salute everything Vince Zampella brought us. Marvel goes back to what it knows for Doomsday, and Macauly decides what is and isn't a Christmas Movie. Plus we may have to wait a little longer for 007's video game return.
