Episode 248: Stonk Market Crash

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.

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.

You read that title right. Its a Pokémon reference, as we have now learned, Ash Ketchum is nearing the end of his Pokémon Journey. Big Shakeups happening in the world of the Xbox Activision merger. The FTC moves against Epic, John Carmack is leaving Meta, and Goat Simulator tries to rip off GTA 6. Amazon is making big promises for the Rings of Power's future, and HBO Max continues to fumble on the goal line. James Gunn talks Terminators future, Henry Cavill joins a new IP universe, and James Gunn isn't backing down.

Short episode, heavy on content. More Call of Duty news as the behemoth continues to dominate the industry. Now Europe is looking into Xbox, and Hideo Kojima confirms what is true and what isnt. Meanwhile, WB and HBO lay down the cancel hammer, Disney+ continues to shine, and Andor is top notch. DC films may have a new unified focus, as WB as a whole moves towards a franchise focus.

Modern Warfare II is out and its fun, but short. Phil Spencer continues his candidness, Sony drops us a doozy with the price of the PSVR2, and Overwatch 2 drops the ball again. Meanwhile the MCU continues to grow on Disney+, DC on tv faces another casualty, and Henry Cavill ditches Geralt. Meanwhile is Dogdeball 2 on the way?
