August 26th, 2026 | 1 hr 15 mins
2k games, a24, activision, alien, amazon prime video, anthony bourdain, atari, cd projekt red, charles melton, dave bautista, dcu, destin daniel cretton, disney+, dolly parton, dragon ball z, ewan mcgregor, final fantasy vii, gamescom, gaming, geek, gilderoy lockhart, god of war, gorilla grodd, green lanterns, gta, gta 6, gta vi, hal jordan, harry potter, hbo, hbo max, he-man, ikea, jimmy olsen, kit harrington, kratos, lanterns, masters of the universe, mcu, microsoft, movies, naruto, nba 2k27, nerd, netflix, obi-wan kenobi, physical media, razer, ridley scott, robin hood, rockstar games, sicario, star wars, superman, the witcher, the witcher 3, the witcher 4, tim curry, tony, tv, twitch, video games, wonderman, xbox

No hype, no corporate gloss. Just raw, street‑level reporting on what’s new, weird, and worth caring about.

Supergirl or Super girl? We have a full review of Supergirl, does it deserve all the hate? Xbox just unleashed a culling, and really they need to squash the rumors, and stop raising prices. Physical media is king, and we just multiple reasons for that, as the finger can be pointed purely at Sony.

Fatality! Mortal Kombat II is out, and its hilarious, in a good way! Plus Mixtape shines in a way I never expected. Meanwhile, Nintendo jumps on the price increase bandwagon, Ahsoka is stuck in another galaxy for another year, and peacock is about to get a speed boost.

Episode 416: The Force Is not Strong
May 6th, 2026 | 1 hr 17 mins
2k sports, amazon, asha sharma, atomfall, battlefield, battlefield 6, bioshock 4, call of duty, daredevil born again, darth maul, dcu, diego luna, disney+, django, ebay, evangeline lilly, fortnite, gamestop, gaming, geek, gta vi, harry potter, hbo max, hulu, imax, injustice, king of the hill, lord of the rings, lucasfilm, man of tomorrow, marvel studios, matthew lillard, maul shadow lord, may the 4th, mcu, memestock, meryl streep, microsoft, mortal kombat, movies, narnia, neatherealm, nerd, netflix, nintendo, nintendo switch 2, ninteno, planet of the apes, playstation, pokemon, regie fils-amie, roblox, rockstar games, sony, sony interactive entertainment, star fox, star fox 64, star wars, star wars celebration, star wars day, super mario galaxy, superman, switch 2, take two interactive, tangled, the blair witch project, the crown, the devil wears prada 2, the hunt for golum, the mandalorian, the mandalorian and grogu, tv, video games, viggo mortensen, walt disney pictures, xbox, zorro
Should we all for the sequel hate ragebait? Probably not. Xbox continues to make positive changes, will it mean anything? Sony suffers a legal loss, and the speculation about GTA VI's price keeps going. Daredevil gets a new status quo, while Maul cowers away. Star Wars Celebration tickets hit the market today, and boy what a cluster that was.

Episode 411: Nick's Sports News
April 1st, 2026 | 1 hr 9 mins
amazon prime video, april fools, avatar the last airbender, back to the future, c-3p0, call of duty, d23, dave chappelle, dcu, disney, ditto, eidos montreal, epic games, fallout, fanta, fortnite, gaming, geek, glen powell, god of war, half baked, harry potter, hbo max, he-man, invincible, james tolkan, john hannah, lobo, masters of the universe, miyamoto, moana, movies, nerd, netflix, pikmin, playstation, pokopia, pokémon, project hail mary, pubg, scream, sony, spider-noir, star fox, star wars, super mario, super mario galaxy movie, supergirl, team italy, the masters, the mummy, the world cup, tiger woods, tomb raider, top gun, tv, video games, walt disney pictures, xbox
Major Announcement we are shifting our coverage. This is a permanent change. No there isn't news about PlayStation raising prices. Or That Dave Chappelle is coming to CoD. Nintendo losing a lawsuit, not here. Netflix raising prices, I guess that might warrant sports coverage. Also not sure who Supergirl or He-man are.

What's your favorite scary movie? Mine isn't scream 7, and take a listen to hear why. Speaking of scary movies, the Wayans's dropped a trailer for their big return to Scary Movie, and HBO graced us with a trailer for its upcoming Green Lantern Show Lanterns. Also we finally got a reveal of Pokémon Generation 10 and its starters, meanwhile Highguard which exploded onto the gaming stage is shutting down after only a few weeks.

Wicked went off to see the wizard with a big box office take, and it might not be, for good. Plus Rush Hour 4 is happening, and the reason why is pretty unusual. That and more on this weeks episode.

Also Nick gives his purely honest thoughts about Black Ops 7.

George has moved on, we need to accept that, elsewhere in a Galaxy Far Far Away Ben Solo is staying dead. Warner Bros has finally accepted its time to sell, after saying no to unwanted solicitors, Amazon paid pennies for James Bond. Xbox is sticking with the high prices, ಠ_ಠ, and more drama out of Ubisoft and Assassin's Creed. That and more on tonight's episode.
