Episode 432: Clam Bake
August 26th, 2026 | 1 hr 15 mins

It’s a solo wanderer’s dispatch from the front lines of nerd culture — one host moving through comic shops, midnight movie premieres, maker garages, and the digital back‑alleys where fandoms thrive. No hype, no corporate gloss. Just raw, street‑level reporting on what’s new, weird, and worth caring about.

Episode 429: Small Potato Stuff

Spider-Man swung back into theaters, and it did exactly what we knew it would. The question is though, was it good? The RAMageddon becomes the RAMpocalypse, as it comes for every component, and will continue forever. Black Ops 1 & 2 jump the sales charts, and EA goes private. Meanwhile we should have listened to Wesley when he said he was the only Blade.

In massive gaming news, and I MEAN MASSIVE! Phil Spencer has retired from Xbox and Microsoft and his #2 Sarah Bond resigned as well, as a questionable new CEO takes the reigns. Plus Sony plans to reboot their wider Spider-manless Spider-verse after its utter collapse, no more morbin time? Mortal Kombat 2 got a Johnny Cage filled trailer and Valve is getting sued by the state of New York and as Jackie Chiles would say: "It's outrageous, egregious, preposterous!"

Well would you look at that, 6 years in, we are still rambling about nonsense. Ubisoft finally announces and shows off its newest Assassin's Creed, Shadows, set in feudal Japan, allowing everyone to play out their Shogun dreams. Meanwhile, Square Enix is finally going to support a multiplatform agenda, and Helldivers breaks a record. Also Hollywood upfronts are going on, so we have a ton of TV news, not to be outdone, by the announcement of a new Lord of the Rings movie, or the return of Happy Gilmore.

Is E3 dead again? seems like it. PSVR2 dead on arrival? Halo Infinite dead? why is everything dying in the video game industry??? Netflix dominated 2022, and is looking to lose it all in 2023 with their password crackdown. It also looks like 2023 is the year of the revival with both King of the Hill and Fraiser coming back. Then in the biggest news of the week James Gunn and Peter Safran finally lay out their grand design for DC and somehow it includes Booster Gold.

Andor continues to knock it out of the park, The Santa Clauses is slow, and Ash finally becomes the very best. John Wick Chpater 4 brings in the big guns, James Gunn teases something Terrific, and Margot Robie is no longer sailing. That and more come take a listen.

Well, well well, it looks like Nintendo is the juggernaut that everyone expected, while you might be able to get a switch, despite its massive sales, good luck finding a PS5. Some 80s icons are coming to Warzone, if official tweets are to be believed. Ubisoft makes some strange decisions. CSI is returning to screens this fall, while the Golden Globes is being forced out. Paramount Plus wants to be like HBO Max and bring movies home to you, Venom 2 looks boring as hell, and dont expect Drax to hang out forever.
