    <![CDATA[<p>WE DID IT! WE MADE IT TO 350! That&#39;s right 350 episodes in the can! Who would&#39;ve thought? Not me, well not really. Anyway we still got news!

Netflix is jacking up prices again...meanwhile the industry is hoping Rockstar charges $100 for GTA 6, here&#39;s hoping they don&#39;t.  Ryan gosling may be heading to a galaxy far, far, away, and the spider-verse is going to be farther away. </p>]]>
