Well its a radio show, but its not live, and its prerecorded.... The Naked Gun is out, and its the comedy that Hollywood needed. Plus Nintendo, pulls its normal shenanigans, while we all continue to ignore the issues. Somehow EA is now the good guy as well? Also, Spider-Man begins filming, and the scenes from set look amazing, Matt Smith is joining a Galaxy Far Far Away, and Chris Hemsworth clarifies his comments on Thor.

We had some big gaming news over the last week between EVO 2023 and Pokémon Presents, thus giving us something to feast on before Gamescon. Meanwhile there has been a lot of movement out of Hollywood, not necessarily on the strike front, but news nonetheless. Barbie made a billion in under 20 days, Disney+ is following in Netflix's footsteps, and while Max is pulling a pandemic Netflix. Lin Manuel Miranda wants to adapt a classic for the stage, and Pixar isn't worried about the future. We cap off the show with the best movies from the 1970s.

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.
