Star Trek has found its new Bones and Sulu, yet we have to wait a while before we actually see them. The video game industry lost a true legend, and we salute everything Vince Zampella brought us. Marvel goes back to what it knows for Doomsday, and Macauly decides what is and isn't a Christmas Movie. Plus we may have to wait a little longer for 007's video game return.

How about that Superman Trailer....people need to chill. Is Bioware doomed? Is Xbox really going to change to publishing? The Oscars controversy continues, and Robert Eggers is heading to the land of Labyrinth, which I miss David Bowie even more. Also Fans need to chill, for real....

Well the summer game showcase season has begun, and the Sony State of Play kicked it all off! More Video game adaptations are also hitting our screens this year, as the industry continues to flip flop between healthy and layoffs. Hollywood seems to finally be bouncing back from the pandemic and the dual strikes as new projects are aplenty. Plus The Acolyte seems to be a shining star in the Star Wars Galaxy!
