  <itunes:subtitle>The Holidays are nearing their end, so lets not continue a trend. Instead of a top 10 again and again, we will look into the future and pretend to be wise men. The gaming is light, and movies alright, lets spend a short while, and talk with artistic style. OK, no more rhyming, we have some light news for you all this week, Sony and War Thunder have some heat, Insomniac stands tall and GTA Hacker gets sentenced. Meanwhile Peaches is out of season at the Oscars, Scream 7 loses its sails, and Aquaman swims slowly to a win. Plus my most anticipated in 2024. </itunes:subtitle>

  <itunes:subtitle>Are two of Hollywood's oldest studios about to merge? It might be a more plausible outcome then you think as Warner and Paramount have talks. A24 and Kojima make a match made in heaven, Insomniac is hacked, and we learn their future. PS5 continues Sony's dominance in the gaming space, and Bobby Kotick is finally leaving Activision. Several streaming shows are getting renewed for their final seasons, and Curb is ending. Pretty, Pretty, Pretty, not good. The MCU's second greatest villain may not actual be a thing anymore, and I watched Barbie. Plus my top 10 Christmas movies. </itunes:subtitle>
