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?

Episode 422: Stepping on rakes again
June 18th, 2026 | 54 mins 16 secs
anya taylor joy, austin powers, batman, bbc, commodore, compulsion games, dc comics, dc studios, dcu, dead by daylight, death stranding, dont nod, double fine, dr. who, dreamworks, ea, epic games, fortnite, fox, fromsoftware, gaming, geek, george miller, gorilla grodd, harry potter, hbo, housemarque, jimmy olsen, kojima, kpop demon hunters, lego, lobo, lord of the rings, luna abyss, mad max, microsoft, movies, nerd, niantic, ninja scroll, ninja theory, nintendo, obsidian, palworld, paramount games, peter sarsgaard, playstation, pokemon, pokemon go, ps5, roku, shang chi, shrek 5, sie, sony, spider-man, supergirl, superman, taylor sheridan, tencent, the batman part 2, the hunt for golum, the last of us, tulsa king, tv, video games, weird al, xbox, yellowstone
Xbox can't help itself; it finds rakes out of nowhere to step on, and its all self-inflicted. There won't be any trips in the Tardis anytime soon, and who is to blame? George Miller wants to sell Mad Max, but why? And Fox buys Roku, which feels oddly familiar.

How about that Superman Trailer....people need to chill. Is Bioware doomed? Is Xbox really going to change to publishing? The Oscars controversy continues, and Robert Eggers is heading to the land of Labyrinth, which I miss David Bowie even more. Also Fans need to chill, for real....

E3 might be cancelled, but what happened over the last few days sure feels like E3. We had an Xbox Games Showcase, Ubisoft Forward, Summer Games Fest, Capcom Showcase, and and whole lot more. And boy, how about that Starfield Direct, that is the first time I've been excited for a Bethesda game. Also the Writers strike claims new victims, unsurprisingly, Netflix gets new subscribers, and stick around for a spoiler filled review of Transformers: Rise of the Beasts.
