Star Trek has been boldly going for 60 years, but Paramount seems to make us want to forget that. Link has been rescuing Zelda for 40 years, and this year he will be doing it all over again, as we discuss the Nintendo Direct. Don't signal for rescue, because Mayday was a lot better than expected, and Star Wars is heading to a 70mm not near you. And we finally know what Godzilla Minus Zero is really about.

From The Batman part II being delayed, to Steam making $11b in 6 months. From the rising tide in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynched, to the lack of IMAX 70mm. Yet that all couldn't save Moana from Te Fiti, you're welcome?

Episode 378: A Podcast? What is it?
August 6th, 2025 | 1 hr 26 mins
2k games, 8bitdo, A New Hope, Assassin's Creed, Black Panther, Cartoon Network, EA, EA Games, EVO, F1, Fantastic Four, Fortnite, Hamilton, Lucasfilm, MCU, Microsoft, Netflix, Sony, Spider-Man, Star Wars, TV, Xbox, a quiet place, activision, amazonmgm, annabelle, audible, avengers, batman 89, batman returns, battlefield, battlefield 2042, battlefield 6, bioshock, bioshock 4, bloober team, call of duty, chris hemsworth, darksiders, darksiders 4, dice, disney, disney+, dune, dynasty warriors, ea sports, epic games, evo los angeles, eyes of wakanda, fc 26, gaming, geek, guitar hero, harrison ford, harry potter, hawkeye, hbo max, hideo kojima, ice cube, it, jason momoa, jeremy renner, john krasinski, jurassic world rebirth, kpop demon hunters, liam neeson, lin manuel miranda, margot robbie, marvel studios, mastercard, metal gear solid, movies, mr. beast, nerd, nintendo, nintendo switch, nintendo switch 2, pamela anderson, paramount, pokémon, pokémon tcg, power rangers, prime video, rare ltd, raven software, spider-man brand new day, star wars 50, star wars starfighter, steam, superman, the hulk, the naked gun, the puinisher, the sims, thor, thq nordic, tim burton, ubisoft, video games, war of the worlds
Well its a radio show, but its not live, and its prerecorded.... The Naked Gun is out, and its the comedy that Hollywood needed. Plus Nintendo, pulls its normal shenanigans, while we all continue to ignore the issues. Somehow EA is now the good guy as well? Also, Spider-Man begins filming, and the scenes from set look amazing, Matt Smith is joining a Galaxy Far Far Away, and Chris Hemsworth clarifies his comments on Thor.

Episode 377: Eating Hay, laying by the bay, making things out of clay...
July 30th, 2025 | 1 hr 25 mins
Bethesda, Black Panther, EA Games, Fantastic Four, Friday the 13th, God of War, Hulu, Lucasfilm, MCU, Microsoft, Netflix, Playstation, Robin Williams, San Diego Comic Con, South Park, Square Enix, Star Trek, Star Wars, TV, Xbox, activision, adam sandler, air bud, amazon prime video, ariana grande, avatar: fire and ash, avatar: the last airbender, batman, battlefield, battlefield 6, buffy the vampire slayer, call of duty, clair obscur, comic con, coyote vs acme, critical role, darth maul, dice, disney, dreamworks, ea sports, eddy murphy, eyes of wakanda, family guy, fantastic four first steps, gaming, geek, gen v, guerilla games, happy gilmore, happy gilmore 2, horizon zero dawn, invincible, james bond, james cameron, john cena, league of legends, legend of vox machina, looney tunes, lucasfilm animation, machinegames, meet the parents, movies, nerd, nintendo, oo7, palworld, paramount, peacemaker, playstation 5, pokémon, ps5, rick & morty, riot games, robert kirkman, ronald d moore, sdcc, spinal tap, star trek starfleet academy, star trek strange new worlds, steven yeun, superman, taron egerton, tencent, the bad guys 2, the boys, the las of us, the pink panther, this is spinal tap, video games, walt disney pictures, warner bros, wolfenstein, x-men, xbox game pass, zootopia 2
I just may, whaddya say? Comic-Con came and went this year, and maybe because the MCU and DCU were so muted, but there were still some good announcements. Xbox says game pass revenue is up, so is it profitable? Wolfenstein is heading to TV, and EA says no to $80. Air Bud is returning and I have serious questions, South Park takes time in its return, Star Trek goes all in on Comic Con, plus reviews of Happy Gilmore 2 and Fantastic Four!

Xbox is always finding rakes to step on, which is ridiculous. After the success for NCAA College football, EA is brining NCAA College Basketball, and no one is shocked. Vin Diesel announces the plan for Fast X part 2, and there's major concerns. Matt Reeves finally finishes the Script for The Batman sequel, and James Gunn gives us who is playing Jor El. Plus a full review for F1 The Movie, which is hands down the best movie of the year so far. That and more on tonight's episode.

No 100 dudes aren't beating 1 Gorilla, you're wild for thinking otherwise. Anyway, did you get your hands on a Switch 2 preorder? Cause if you did you may have avoided the chaos. EA announced a big shakeup, cancelled games, and is bringing paid season pass to FC 25. Plus what is Call of Duty's obsession with the ganja? Hollywood is not being saved by Netflix, sequels abound, and some superhero movies lose their capes, plus will The Rock win with A24?

WE DID IT! WE MADE IT TO 350! That's right 350 episodes in the can! Who would've thought? Not me, well not really. Anyway we still got news! The Nintendo Switch 2 has been officially revealed, despite the lame name. Netflix is jacking up prices again...meanwhile the industry is hoping Rockstar charges $100 for GTA 6, here's hoping they don't. Ryan gosling may be heading to a galaxy far, far, away, and the spider-verse is going to be farther away.

Another week, another meltdown over Xbox exclusives and "WhY ShOuLd I bUy An XbOx", all because Phil continues to say the same thing over and over for years. We also got confirmation that the Mass Effect Television show is full steam ahead! Lets hope Amazon repeats the magic it did with Fallout. Plus there are apparently a million star wars movies in development, and im sure only 4 will actually come out. Denzel teases his future in the MCU, and D23 Brazil brought the heat. That and a hell of a lot more.
