If the title wasn't a giveaway, we have learned that Charles Martinet will not longer be the voice of Mario in future Mario games, tis a sad day in gaming. Yet at the same time Gamescom is currently going on in Germany, and we got a wealth of gaming news to talk about. Activision pulled the lid off of the Modern Warfare III, Atari is trying to make another comeback, and oh yeah, Microsoft is selling Activision streaming rights to Ubisoft. Meanwhile in Hollywoodland, the WGA continue their strike and call out the big three, Disney announces a slew of physical releases for digital only shows, and Ahsoka is the best live action Star Wars show, full stop. Plus I give my honest opinion about my top 10 favorite 80s movies.

Hey Taxi! Yes Crazy Taxi is coming back! Ads in Video Games? How do you feel? Amy Hennig is making a Star Wars game again, this is glorious news. Seth MacFarlane is making a Ted Prequel show, and I'm all for it. Netflix is facing a subscriber issue, and is Jack Bauer back? not yet. Meanwhile the Halo show is boring, and TV shows need to stop having filler episodes. Also Fantastic Beasts is not as bad as the internet wants you to believe.

If that headline doesn't give it away, then you are listening to the wrong podcast, hehe. GTA6 is finally announced, but don't expect to hear about it again for quite some time. The Nintendo Switch is getting hit with a lot of yesterdays games, and you know what, that's ok, cause its getting some new ones too. Meanwhile, expect the super bowl to have a ton of teases for future entertainment, including Amazon's Lord of the Rings, and Disney+ says screw it and finally announces the release date of Kenobi. Also Lord & Miller gush about MIB 23 the movie that never was, the Oscars half snub DUNE, and Tom Holland is just trying to play every PlayStation Mascot at this point.

So we finally know that the Xbox Series S is real, but we also got a release and price for the Series X, and Nintendo finally enters the 4K world. Ubisoft teases use again with Sam Fisher, and no new splinter cell. Kenobi is one off, Robocop without Robocop, and Q is coming back to Starfleet. Borat 2 may already be done, Star Wars is broken, Dune is woken, Cyborg is soaken and Fast 9 is jokin.
