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 369: A Michael Bay Production
June 4th, 2025 | 1 hr 16 mins
007, activision, andor, arc system works, bethesda, call of duty, call of duty black ops 6, capcom, captain america, captain america brave new world, cd projekt red, cyberpunk 2077, d&d, dcu, disney+, doctor who, ea, epic games, fantastic 4, galactus, gaming, geek, hagrid, happy gilmore, harry potter, hbo, hulu, io interactive, james bond, james gunn, king of the hill, knives out, lilo & stich, luke skywalker, mark hamill, marvel games, marvel studios, mcu, michael bay, mission impossible, mortal kombat, movies, nerd, netflix, netflix tudum, nick frost, nintendo, nintendo switch 2, peacemaker, people can fly, playstation, pokémon, pokémon scarlet, pokémon violet, pragmata, red hulk, ryan reynolds, sinners, snyderverse, sony state of play, splinter cell, squid game, star wars, stig asmussen, stranger things, superman, the witcher, the witcher 4, tv, ubisoft, unreal, unreal engine, video games, vision quest, warnerbros, xbox, xbox handheld, zenimax, zynga
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.

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....

Sony really does not have a gamer first mentality and if you think they do, stop drinking the Kool-Aid. Xbox shows up to play at TGS, Ubisoft faces its second strike in a year, Blizzard is making some interesting moves, and California wants gamers to be informed. Plus, Lionsgate faces another flop, but their is light on the horizon, DC seems to be seeing what sticks, and Hollywood loses some greats in the span of a week. ALSO, go watch Mr. McMahon on NETFLIX, because STONE COLD SAID SO!

Two Pinocchio stories this week, one about a horror movie, the other, the return of Ultron. Its the week after Gamescom, so that means its time for Call of Duty news! Plus Nintendo decided to have a direct and not talk about the Switch's successor. Sony bombs out with their latest games as a service, and Lionsgate debuts their 2nd flop of the summer. Meanwhile Ted Lasso is gearing up for a new season on the pitch, and Tarantino takes a phaser to his chances of directing a Star Trek.

Well folks its finally happening, a Mafia game set in Sicily at the turn of the 20th Century! I am very excited! But that wasn't the only news out of Gamescom this week, another Bethesda title is going multiplatform, old franchises are returning, and new adaptations are unexpectedly coming! Also, don't go after actors for roles they play, they aren't really those characters! Meanwhile, Deadpool & Wolverine continues to break records, Indiana Jones's hat sells for over $600k, and The Acolyte is sent packing. Nic Cage, now here's a guy, will be playing John Madden, and forget the chicken sandwich war, Chick-fil-a is jumping into the streaming wars.
