  <itunes:subtitle>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. </itunes:subtitle>

  <itunes:subtitle>If it wasn't blatantly obvious, todays top story is the review of Mortal Kombat! Also PS5 is outdoing projections. Xbox has a solid Q3, Titanfall 2 sees a spike, and Little Big Planet is up in the air. The Falcon and The Winter Solider nails its landing, and we haven't seen the last of Justice League Unlimited. The Oscar goes to a MCU director, Captain America 4 is in the works. Adam Wingard might not be done with the Monsterverse, and the streaming wars aren't slowing down. </itunes:subtitle>
