Well Star Wars fans can continue to argue, because Kathleen Kennedy stepping down certainly wont stop them. But something to stop to listen to, is George RR Martin telling all to the Hollywood Reporter. Plus, Fallout Season 2 is not falling behind season 1, people just don't remember how TV works. Ubisoft decided to lay a big one on the gaming industry by cancelling another Prince of Persia game, and Netflix wants to keep WB movies on the big screen if the merger goes through. That and more on this weeks episode.

Do we all really want George's Vision? Or are we just saying that because its cool now? Is an Elden Ring movie coming? Will Fable release in 2026? I'm not really sure, but we do know the Wonder Woman game is no longer happening. With 007's future now in flux, Harry Potter's is more certain. The MCU changes some dates, and the DCU wipes one of the slate.

Episode 185: Everybody gets a Smash clone!

Halo Infinite MP has been out a week, and I have some thoughts. Meanwhile that rumored WarnerBros Smash clone is real, and its spectacular. The external pressure on Activision is growing, and internal pressure isn't simmering down either. Meanwhile Lucasfilm is setting its sights on the future of the franchise, and TV seems to be the path. The MCU is setting up multiple secret projects, and Ghostbusters: Afterlife is a sequel worth your time.
