Episode 374: Does this really count as a rebirth?
July 9th, 2025 | 1 hr 30 mins
ai, anime, anime expo, battlefront 2, bill gates, blade, captain america, copilot, crunchyroll, cyberpunk 2077, cyberpunk edgerunners, dcu, death stranding 2, dice, doctor who, ea, everwild, f1, forza motorsport, gaming, geek, harry potter, hbo max, helldivers 2, hideo kojima, hot wheels, ironheart, james gunn, jason isaacs, john m chu, john romero, julian mcmahon, jurassic park, jurassic world, jurassic world rebirth, marvel comics, mattel, mcu, michael madsen, microsoft, movies, nerd, netflix, nintendo, open ai, phil spencer, playstation, ps5, rare ltd, rick and morty, romero games, ryan coogler, scarjo, scarlett johansen, sea of thieves, sinners, sony, steel hunters, superman, turn10, tv, universal pictures, video games, wargaming, warner bros, world of tanks, xbox, xbox series x, zack snyder
Serious question, why call something Rebirth, if there is no rebirthing, where was the rebirthing? Yes I have a full review of Jurassic World Rebirth in todays drop. Plus more fallout from the Microsoft and Xbox layoffs, and who is to blame? Helldivers 2 is dropping on Xbox next month, and Nintendo ponders the future of game development. ScarJo is now the highest grossing lead actor ever, John M Chu is going to be racing into theaters as the director of Hot Wheels. Meanwhile James Gunn and Zack Snyder portal into Rick and Morty in the least suspecting way.

Episode 369: A Michael Bay Production
June 4th, 2025 | 1 hr 16 mins

Guess what, there's another reason to question the existence of the PS5 Pro! The Sony Sate of Play was pretty solid today, and its mainly due to the James Bond game trailer. Microsoft pushes back its handheld plans, Nintendo keeps it close to the vest, and Activision has a blunder. Plus Netflix has its Tudum, Mark Hamill shares his future, and thank god we don't live in the Michael Bay Superman Timeline. Plus my review of Mission Impossible The Final Reckoning.

A lot of big news out of the Studio Upfronts, the biggest being the return of HBO Max! Also we need to talk about the things Nintendo is doing, because i gotta say, NitenDONT! Plus Waffle House in Tekken is still not any closer, and we got to see our first look at Spider-Noir. Plus I break down my day at Universal Studios Hollywood!

Episode 365: We're So Back*
May 7th, 2025 | 1 hr 7 mins
across the spider-verse, andor, bucky barnes, bungie, clair obscur: expedtion 33, codemasters, conclave, deadpool, destiny 2, disney+, ea, ea games, ea sports wrc, ecco the dolphin, elder scrolls iv: oblivion remastered, event horizon, ffvii, final fantasy, final fantasy vii, final fantasy vii remake, fortnite, gaming, gears of war, geek, grand theft auto, grand theft auto 6, gta, gta 6, gta vi, hawkeye, hollow knight, hollow knight silk song, hollywood, jeremy rennery, john wick, lucasfilm, marvel studios, mcu, movies, nerd, nintendo, nintendo switch 2, playstation, president trump, rockstar games, rogue one, rome, ryan reynolds, sega, sie, small soldiers, sony, sony playstation, spider-man, square enix, star wars, tariffs, the elder scrolls, the new avengers, the pope, the winter soldier, thunderbolts*, tv, video games, wrc, x-men, xbox, xbox series s, xbox series x
GTA VI took over the news across two weeks, and all with a delay and a new trailer. The Thunderbolts* have a new name, and I have a review. Plus Xbox pulls unexpected shenanigans, Ecco the Dolphin is returning, and Art Imitates life, well the other way around as the real Conclave begins. Plus Andor takes it to the next level, while still keeping it very Star Wars.

Episode 364: Gorilla vs 100
April 30th, 2025 | 1 hr 13 mins
4/20, a minecraft movie, a24, amazonmgm, assassin's creed shadows, back to the future, blade, blade runner, bob gale, borderlands 4, call of duty, call of duty black ops 4, clair obscur, daywalker, dcu, dvd, dvd rot, dwayne "the rock" johnson, ea, ea games, ea sports, ea sports college football, ea sports fc, fantastic four, fortnite, francis ford coppola, fx, game pass, gaming, geek, gorilla, hollywood, hunger games, ian mcdiarmid, jake gyllenhaal, james gunn, madden nfl 27, mahershala ali, mcu, megalopolis, miami vice, movies, nerd, netflix, nintendo switch, nintendo switch 2, palpatine, respawn entertainment, revenge of the sith, rise of skywalker, roadhouse, seth rogan, sgt. rock, shogun, sinners, skate, split fiction, star wars, star wars revenge of the sith, star wars: revenge of the sith, sydney sweeney, the rock, the smashing machine, titanfall, tv, ubisoft, video games
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?

Episode 357: Mickey357

We've got a movie review! Mickey17 is out and I highly recommend it! Plus its a great placeholder before Verdansk returns to Warzone in a few weeks! Also in the news Pokémon GO is now somehow owned by the Saudis, Jeff Bezos really said FAFO, and even Minecraft is getting a popcorn bucket. Plus and Xbox handheld may be closer than you think, Kevin Conroy has another posthumous role, and major casting news for Spider-Man 4.

Episode 353: Read Beyond the Headlines
February 12th, 2025 | 1 hr 1 min
activision, activisionblizzard, back to the future, baldur's gate 3, batman, blizzard, bobby kotick, call of duty, capcom, connecticut, crysis 4, crytek, days gone, diablo 4, disney+, dragon age, ea, elden ring, friendly neighborhood spider-man, gaming, geek, grand theft auto, gta, gta 6, harrison ford, harry potter, hbo, hogwarts legacy, indiana jones, john lithgow, johnny cage, karl urban, kendrick lamar, larian, lucasfilm, magic the gathering, mcu, metal gear solid, mortal kombat, movie theaters, movies, nerd, netherealm, nintendo, nintendo switch 2, onimusha, overwatch 2, playstation, playstation state of play, ps5, psn, resident evil, roblox, rocksteady, sonic racers, super bowl lix, thunderbolts*, tv, video games, warcraft, wb games, wonder woman, world of warcraft
Was it just me or were the commercials at the Super Bowl just not as good as they used to be? Even movie trailers were lacking. Anyway, PlayStation had a state of play and announced another remaster of a game that's less than 10 years old (-_-). An American in a major Harry potter role? A law about movie roles? How bout no, and A new Rocksteady Batman???

Episode 352: The Console Wars have ended
February 6th, 2025 | 1 hr 9 mins
age of empires, ai, avengers doomsday, battlefield, bioware, buffy, buffy the vampire slayer, capcom, captain america, chris evans, clair obscur, dice, disney+, dr disrespect, dragon age, ea, fantastic 4, forza horizon, forza horizon 5, forza motorsport, gaming, geek, hulu, indiana jones, jcvd, jurassic park, jurassic world, jurassic world rebirth, kickboxer, madden, mass effect, matthew lillard, mcu, mobile suit gundam, monster hunter wilds, movies, multiversus, nerd, netflix, nic cage, nintendo gamecube, nintendo switch 2, oscar isaac, playstation 5, pokémon, pokémon tcg pocket, ps5, scream, scream 7, simu liu, sleeping dogs, space world, squid game, star wars, steam, tariffs, tv, video games, wb interactive, xbox, xbox game studios
Yes that's right, I'm declaring an end to the console wars, and its end comes with Forza heading to PS5. They end not with a bang, but a whimper. Also Multiversus fails to capture any market share from Super Smash Bros, and is shutting down after a year. Both Fantastic Four and Jurassic World Rebirth drop some serious trailers. And EA faces and interesting future. While Disney+ loses almost a million subs, and Buffy is returning to a screen near you.

Episode 351: Wide Angle Lens
January 29th, 2025 | 1 hr 41 secs
academy awards, agatha all along, assassin's creed, assassins creed shadows, beyond two souls, bioware, blops 6, call of duty, call of duty black ops 6, cod, compulsion games, david bowie, dc studios, dcu, disney+, doom the dark ages, dragon age, dragon age: the veilguard, dunk & egg, ea, emilia perez, epic games, final fantasy 7, game of thrones, gaming, geek, george rr martin, hbo, id software, james gunn, jurassic park, jurassic world, jurassic world rebirth, labyrinth, mass effect, mass effect 5, max, mcu, movies, nerd, ninja gaiden, ninja gaiden 4, nintendo switch 2, nvidia, palworld, paramount, paramount+, phil spencer, platinum games, playstation, pocketpair, psn, resident evil, robert eggers, sony, sony interactive entertainment, south of midnight, spider-man, square enix, star trek, star trek section 31, supergirl, superman, team ninja, the matrix, the oscars, tv, ubisoft, video games, westeros, will smith, xbox, xbox developer direct
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....
