We had a lot of investor news this week, between WB's earnings call, the Sony State of Play, and a Pokémon Presents. EA wants to beef up production on Battlefield, while Ubisoft seems to be less and less interested in beyond good and evil 2 with each passing day. HBO Max loses one prequel and gains another. The Mando is back, and the Lord of the Rings may be as well. That and more come take a listen.

Well the Super Bowl dropped some serious Batman on us, and some guardians too. But mostly here for the I'm Batman in the Flash. Respawn Entertainment thinks they can keep Apex going for 20 years, and EA signs a deal with the English Premier League. Mattel is rebooting Barney for some reason, and Arrested Development is leaving Netflix in a surprise move. Meanwhile Kevin Feige gets real about the MCU and and James Gunn gets praise from Zack Snyder.

Looks like those AMC Stonks really worked in our favor, (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻. I am overjoyed that I don't have an AMC near me, because if I did, I would be even angrier. Any who, we had a Pokémon-less Nintendo Direct, but it was heavy on the Zelda, The UK and the EU write stern warning in regards to the Activision Microsoft Deal. Sony has a great gaming quarter, and the Switch jumps to #3 all time. The Justin Roiland drama heats up to a new level, and makes me happy about Rick & Morty's future, The Bad Batch may have peaked, and we get to return to Point Place, Wisconsin for another summer. Meanwhile we have what's new on Streaming, as well as news out of Disney, and of course, the aforementioned nonsense coming from AMC.

Is E3 dead again? seems like it. PSVR2 dead on arrival? Halo Infinite dead? why is everything dying in the video game industry??? Netflix dominated 2022, and is looking to lose it all in 2023 with their password crackdown. It also looks like 2023 is the year of the revival with both King of the Hill and Fraiser coming back. Then in the biggest news of the week James Gunn and Peter Safran finally lay out their grand design for DC and somehow it includes Booster Gold.

Those Microsoft Layoffs may have a greater impact on gaming then we might realize, especially for Master Chief. NVIDIA and Google voice their concerns over the Activision deal, but stop short of jumping in Sony's bandwagon. Pour one out for Stadia, as today was its final day. Mark Hamill gives and update on playing the Joker, Spielberg wants to jump into TV, the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers are coming back. Meanwhile the BatVerse is more real then you realize, James Cameron hits another Billion, and Rainbow Six is coming to the big screen.

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.
