unity decided to just drop a nuke on the game development world and the both backtracked and doubled down, but so far it has cause among us to be pulled from storefronts. Meanwhile, Marvel Studios VFX artists have unanimously voted to join IATSE, in the first of its kind unionization vote in the VFX industry. Starfield continues to dominate the headlines and gaming charts, SquareEnix may be facing a interesting situation, and the iPhone is getting AAA gaming support. Meanwhile Miyazaki unretires, Alan Moore gives his money to charity, and Shawn Levy says Deadpool is like John Candy. Plus my favorite 80s teen movies! Come take a listen.

Episode 155: Mortal Podkast

If it wasn't blatantly obvious, todays top story is the review of Mortal Kombat! Also PS5 is outdoing projections. Xbox has a solid Q3, Titanfall 2 sees a spike, and Little Big Planet is up in the air. The Falcon and The Winter Solider nails its landing, and we haven't seen the last of Justice League Unlimited. The Oscar goes to a MCU director, Captain America 4 is in the works. Adam Wingard might not be done with the Monsterverse, and the streaming wars aren't slowing down.
