Are two of Hollywood's oldest studios about to merge? It might be a more plausible outcome then you think as Warner and Paramount have talks. A24 and Kojima make a match made in heaven, Insomniac is hacked, and we learn their future. PS5 continues Sony's dominance in the gaming space, and Bobby Kotick is finally leaving Activision. Several streaming shows are getting renewed for their final seasons, and Curb is ending. Pretty, Pretty, Pretty, not good. The MCU's second greatest villain may not actual be a thing anymore, and I watched Barbie. Plus my top 10 Christmas movies.

We also saw the announcement of several movies, and the release of several trailers for big upcoming sequels. Barbie and Succession dominate the Golden Globe Nominees, and we lost a great star of Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

And just like that, Thrawn is alive, and in person in Ahsoka. Would I have believed you if you told me five years ago Thrawn would appear in person, probably not, yet here we are. Also Microsoft really needs to find staff members that can upload a redacted document, that stays redacted. Because those leaks are no joke, especially when "private" emails are made public. Also It seems like the Writers may have scored a major victory against the studios. That and a hell of a lot more, come take a listen.

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.
