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. Jackass is returning to theaters, but at what cost? GameStop is closing stores, are you surprised? Plus reactions to the Golden Globes, and more!

Episode 306: The state of the gaming industry is Unreal
March 21st, 2024 | 1 hr 18 mins
007, 20th century, aaron taylor johnson, akira toriyama, alien romulus, amazon prime video, among us, amy henig, apex legends, apple tv+, aspyr, beetlejuice beetlejuice, bill hader, billy dee williams, black mirror, black panther, blizzard entertainment, bullet train, bungie, captain america, colombia pictures, cyclops, dcu, deadpool 3, disney+, doctor who, dr. seuss, dune pt. 2, dune: awakening, ea game, embracer group, epic games, fallout, final fantasy 14, fortnite, furiosa, fx, fx on hulu, gabe newell, game developers conference, gaming, gdc, geek, george lucas, halo 2, hulu, james bond, james gunn, james marsden, jay and silent bob, jonathan nolan, kick-ass, lando calrissian, league of legends, lord gaben, mad max, madame web, marathon, margot robbie, marvel 1943 rise of hydra, marvel games, marvel zombies, max payne, max payne 1, mcu, metahuman, minecraft, movies, mr. beast, nerd, netflix, nic cage, nuka cola, overwatch 2, palworld, playstation 5, pokémon, popeye, ps5, ps5 pro, rebel moon pt. 2, remedy entertainment, respawn entertainment, riot games, rockstar games, saber interactive, sand land, skydance new media, sony pictures, sony playstation, spider-man, spider-man 2, spider-man noir, square enix, star citizen, star wars, star wars battlefront, star wars battlefront classic collection, state of unreal, steam, steve martin, sydney sweeny, teen titans, the acolyte, the bear, the cat in the hat, the crow, the high republic, the never ending story, the sims, the walt disney company, tim sweeny, tv, twitch, uefn, unreal engine 5, valve corp, video games, warner bros, xbox, xbox live
You read that correctly, the state of the gaming world is unreal, as in Unreal Engine. As the GDC is fully underway, there was still a lot of news to get through. From Epic games having their state of Unreal, to Saber Interactive breaking free from Embracers embrace, to the failure of the PSVR 2, and Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection taking a nosedive. Also Popeye, The Cat in the Hat, and The Never Ending Story are all making some kind of comeback, The Acolyte gets its first trailer, and Dune Pt. 2 continues to sizzle as the box office. That and a whole lot more.

Yes you read that correctly, the MCU is getting its first F-Bomb and its not coming from the merc with a mouth. The CMA blocks the Microsoft ABK deal in a shocking twist, that will surely end the way we all expect it to. SEGA unionizes, Netflix brings back a classic, and Pircard gives the D its hero moment. Cinemacon is underway and the studios brought out all the big guns. Come take a listen.

If the title didn't give it away, this will, Christopher Walken is joining Dune Pt. 2, and that's honestly the coolest thing I've heard this week. Starfield is delayed, and Fall Guys finally releases. Meanwhile, The Boys promises more action in Season 3, She-Hulk is thirsty, and Rick and Morty are going Anime. Star Wars is shifting focus to TV and Spinal Tap isn't done turning things up to 11.
