Episode 274: Pokémon Presents: Tekken 8

We had some big gaming news over the last week between EVO 2023 and Pokémon Presents, thus giving us something to feast on before Gamescon. Meanwhile there has been a lot of movement out of Hollywood, not necessarily on the strike front, but news nonetheless. Barbie made a billion in under 20 days, Disney+ is following in Netflix's footsteps, and while Max is pulling a pandemic Netflix. Lin Manuel Miranda wants to adapt a classic for the stage, and Pixar isn't worried about the future. We cap off the show with the best movies from the 1970s.

Episode 264: It's Tom Wambsgans, were just living in it.
May 31st, 2023 | 1 hr 51 secs
8bitdo, activisionblizzard, alan wake 2, amazon prime video, amy pascal, andy muschietti, barbie movie, barry, blockbuster, cd projekt red, dceu, dcu, diablo iv, disney, dolphin emulator, elizabeth olsen, game of thrones, games with gold, george rr martin, gollum, gwent, hbo, hideo kojima, house of the dragon, how to train your dragon, iron man, james gunn, john wick 5, jon favreau, kevin feige, konami, like a dragon, lord of the rings, madden nfl, martin scorsese, mcu, metal gear solid, miles morales, movies, naughtydog, netflix, nintendo 64, playstation, pokémon home, pokémon scarlet, pokémon violet, ps plus, quentin tarantino, ratchet and clank, remedy entertainment, robert downey jr, sega, snyderverse, sony pictures, spider-man, spider-woman, steam, succession, the arrowverse, the flash, the flash cw, the last of us, the little mermaid, the office, the pope, the righteous gemstones, tom holland, transformers, tv shows, video games, walt disney pictures, will ferrel, witcher 3, world of warcraft, xbox, yakuza series
How about that succession ending, it stuck the landing and that's all that matters, meanwhile the Arrowverse left us, no whimper no bang, just and end. Nintendo continues its fight against itself and its fans, and Konami is just in it for the snakes. Spider-Man's future gets an uplifting update, and The little Mermaid fails to make a splash outside of the US. That and more, come take a listen.

Its Morphin Time! Did anyone else notice how cheesy The MMPR 30th anniversary special was? Also the absence of certain people was extremely noticeable. Mando ended today, and it was not as satisfying as I had hoped. Star Trek Picard brought the D, and the F to the party, but who invited the Borg? Sonic and the Angry Birds are getting together, and Oppenheimer is not going to let Barbara drop the bomb on him. That and more on this weeks episode!

Yes MAX is coming, because this is clearly the greatest name for a streaming service, while also showing off its new content. Star Wars Celebration Europe was this past weekend, and it laid out all the ways we can hope for a bright future in a galaxy far, far, away. And we go deep into the Mushroom Kingdom to bring you a review of the Super Mario Bros movie!

What are you doing in my swamp, because Shrek 5 is closer then you think. E3 is cancelled, and probably forever if we believe the games media. Scott Pilgrim is returning to our screens, and with the same cast as the movie. The Mandalorian brings the cameos and make sure to stick around because we will have a review of Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves

Also a lot of movement on the Xbox and ActivisionBlizzard Merger went down over the past week. Meanwhile, Ubisoft admits to some failures, a reflection on the Ben Affleck Daredevil, and Marvel VFX artists speak out.

Well the Golden Globes huh, how about them apples? Also how are no physical games being sold in the UK, that makes absolutely no sense. Some genre defining directors are making some missteps, WarnerBros is trying out a "were sorry" approach, Paramount+ makes some interesting choices for non Star Trek Properties.

Meanwhile, the FTC is now the third regulatory body to "look deeper" into the Microsoft acquisition of Activision Blizzard.
