  <itunes:subtitle>Happy Thanksgiving week! Just a few major stories to break down this week. FarCry is headed to television on FX with Rob Mac staring, which is the right type of chaos that show needs. 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. </itunes:subtitle>

There are also not fun things, like Nintendo and Pokémon behind paywalls, HBO and passwords, and The Long Walk.

I'm talking about, wait, no, E3 is gone, but its spirit lives on, in this disjointed days of virtual press conferences. Xbox had their Games Showcase and didn't show any of the tentpoles, Summer Games Fest knocked it out of the park with Resident Evil 9, and IGN Live tried to fill in some gaps. Plus, The Phoenician Scheme, Predator Killer of Killers, and Ballerina from the World of John Wick all get reviewed. </itunes:subtitle>

Plus, The Phoenician Scheme, Predator Killer of Killers, and Ballerina from the World of John Wick all get reviewed.

Tony Hawk is teasing a 25th Anniversary announcement, Sony is all up in the news for good and bad reasons, and Vince Zampella has some wild takes. Borderlands ends its sad run, Donald Glover wants to bring fun back to star wars, and Gary Oldman is open to going back to the Wizard World. That plus more.

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 &amp; 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. </itunes:subtitle>

  <itunes:subtitle>Happy Festivus! More Cyberpunk2077, the ups, the downs, and the sideways. New game announcements. The UK is looking to punish scalpers. Meanwhile Among Us is just steamrolling everything, pretty sus if you ask me. The Office is joining Peacock, with a few exceptions. The Mandalorian goes balls to wall in its season finale. Meanwhile Streaming gets serious in 2021 with a lot of new stuff dropping on Netflix, HBOmax and Disney+. Also Chris Pine is upping his nerd cred by joing the new D&amp;D movie. The Snyder cut is coming sooner then expected. While we also get our first trailer for Coming 2 America. </itunes:subtitle>
