Jack Black is unsurprisingly playing Steve in the Minecraft movie, Sony wants to buy Paramount, and Zoolander 2 was a wake up call for Ben Stiller. That and more, come take a listen.

You read that correctly, the state of the gaming world is unreal, as in Unreal Engine. As the GDC is fully underway, there was still a lot of news to get through. From Epic games having their state of Unreal, to Saber Interactive breaking free from Embracers embrace, to the failure of the PSVR 2, and Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection taking a nosedive. Also Popeye, The Cat in the Hat, and The Never Ending Story are all making some kind of comeback, The Acolyte gets its first trailer, and Dune Pt. 2 continues to sizzle as the box office. That and a whole lot more.

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.

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.

Are two of Hollywood's oldest studios about to merge? It might be a more plausible outcome then you think as Warner and Paramount have talks. A24 and Kojima make a match made in heaven, Insomniac is hacked, and we learn their future. PS5 continues Sony's dominance in the gaming space, and Bobby Kotick is finally leaving Activision. Several streaming shows are getting renewed for their final seasons, and Curb is ending. Pretty, Pretty, Pretty, not good. The MCU's second greatest villain may not actual be a thing anymore, and I watched Barbie. Plus my top 10 Christmas movies.

We have a review of Godzilla Minus One, which im gonna say now, my favorite movie of 2023, hands down. We also got the game awards last week, over 20 new games announced, most of which had no release dates, Baldur's Gate 3 was the big winner, no surprises. We also saw the announcement of several movies, and the release of several trailers for big upcoming sequels. Barbie and Succession dominate the Golden Globe Nominees, and we lost a great star of Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
