Hello All! Another week, another rant, but not as heated. As you can tell by the title its about Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League, and boy am I not happy. We also had a state of play from Sony, Microsoft gutted Blizzard, and Mass Effect is headed to Destiny. Meanwhile The Thunderbolts loses several stars, Supergirl is found, Denis Villeneuve has plans for Dune 3. Also, there was an issue with my microphone this week, so that will explain the poor audio quality.

Well the Oscars just went out and proved the Barbie movie right, are we surprised, yes, should we be? No... Also, Jon Stewart returns to the daily show, and honestly that's what America needs right now, please let him be unhinged Comedy Central, please. Plus Palworld has quite literally taken over the gaming world, who knew "Pokémon with guns" would be this successful.

Will Tina Fey take over Saturday Night Live? I think Lorne Michaels hopes she does. Plus the Halo Battle Royale was almost real, despite 343 always saying they wouldn't make one. Plus the Emmys happened, and The Bear, Beef, and Succession all walked away as winners. That and more on this weeks Nick's Nerd News.

And just like that, Thrawn is alive, and in person in Ahsoka. Would I have believed you if you told me five years ago Thrawn would appear in person, probably not, yet here we are. Also Microsoft really needs to find staff members that can upload a redacted document, that stays redacted. Because those leaks are no joke, especially when "private" emails are made public. Also It seems like the Writers may have scored a major victory against the studios. That and a hell of a lot more, come take a listen.
