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.

The CMA blocks the Microsoft ABK deal in a shocking twist, that will surely end the way we all expect it to. SEGA unionizes, Netflix brings back a classic, and Pircard gives the D its hero moment. Cinemacon is underway and the studios brought out all the big guns. Come take a listen.

Its Morphin Time! Did anyone else notice how cheesy The MMPR 30th anniversary special was? Also the absence of certain people was extremely noticeable. Mando ended today, and it was not as satisfying as I had hoped. Star Trek Picard brought the D, and the F to the party, but who invited the Borg? Sonic and the Angry Birds are getting together, and Oppenheimer is not going to let Barbara drop the bomb on him. That and more on this weeks episode!

What are you doing in my swamp, because Shrek 5 is closer then you think. E3 is cancelled, and probably forever if we believe the games media. Scott Pilgrim is returning to our screens, and with the same cast as the movie.

If the title wasn't an indication of the news then I don't know how to tell you this. But Good Burger is coming Back! Good Burrger 2 was announced, among other things. But the Second Dominion war seems to be heading our way in the star trek universe, the Unreal Engine is literally forging new paths, the Power Rangers are back, and Shazam 2 was funnier then it had any business being.
