Star Trek has been boldly going for 60 years, but Paramount seems to make us want to forget that. Link has been rescuing Zelda for 40 years, and this year he will be doing it all over again, as we discuss the Nintendo Direct. Don't signal for rescue, because Mayday was a lot better than expected, and Star Wars is heading to a 70mm not near you. And we finally know what Godzilla Minus Zero is really about.

Episode 429: Small Potato Stuff
August 5th, 2026 | 1 hr 19 mins
70mm, AMD, Christopher Nolan, Dungeons & Dragons, EA, EA Games, God of War, Lucasfilm, MCU, Playstation, Sony, Spider-Man, Star Wars, TV, WoW, Xbox, activision, barbie, black ops 1 & 2, blade, booster gold, call of duty, call of duty black ops, clueless, dave bautista, dcu, disney, disney+, dnd, elden ring, final fantasy vii, from software, game of thrones, gaming, geek, george rr martin, gpu, henry cavill, imax, james may, jeremy clarkson, kratos, midnight club, moana, movies, nerd, nvidia, oded fehr, paramount+, pif, pokemon, ps5, ram, richard hammond, rockstar games, samsung, sony columbia pictures, sony interactive entertainment, sony pictures, spider-man brand new day, squareenix, steam, steam machine, the grand tour, the mandalorian, the mummy, the odyssey, tiktok, valve, video games, walt disney pictures, warhammer, warhammer40k, warnerbros, wonder man, world of warcraft, x-men
Spider-Man swung back into theaters, and it did exactly what we knew it would. The question is though, was it good? The RAMageddon becomes the RAMpocalypse, as it comes for every component, and will continue forever. Black Ops 1 & 2 jump the sales charts, and EA goes private. Meanwhile we should have listened to Wesley when he said he was the only Blade.

The wait is over for GTA VI....information. WE have all the details on GTA VI, and no its not getting delayed anymore. Valve also dropped the curtain on the Steam Machine and it is not cheap.

Did He-Man come out a few decades too late? I liked the movie, but does it have the power? Summer Games Fest hit Friday afternoon with a bang, Xbox brought the lancer, and immediately stepped on a rake. Meanwhile Nintendo finally revealed the game everyone knew about, as the Ocarina of time returns. Plus a new 21 Jump street is coming, but why the skip to 24?

Let's do Hutt Stuff while Mando is away. We've got a review of The Mandalorian and Grogu, and Nick updates his Star Wars Ranking. Plus The Steam Deck is the latest gaming device to get a price hike, but hey at least a new Witcher 3 DLC is coming out! Excelsior! Stan Lee is coming back, but i'm not so sure everyone will be happy about that, and Bungie is taking the light out of Destiny 2.

Its time to start your engines, because a new Forza Horizon is out and ready to be driven, and all in the shadow of Mt. Fuji. Plus XBOX may have to go back to exclusives, while PlayStation is ditching PC. HBO gave us our first real look at Lanterns ahead of its August release, and PlayStation is also hoping on the price increase train, as PS+ gets a hike.

Fatality! Mortal Kombat II is out, and its hilarious, in a good way! Plus Mixtape shines in a way I never expected. Meanwhile, Nintendo jumps on the price increase bandwagon, Ahsoka is stuck in another galaxy for another year, and peacock is about to get a speed boost.

Episode 416: The Force Is not Strong
May 6th, 2026 | 1 hr 17 mins
2k sports, Fortnite, Hulu, Injustice, Lucasfilm, MCU, Microsoft, Netflix, Planet of the Apes, Playstation, Sony, Star Wars, TV, Tangled, Xbox, amazon, asha sharma, atomfall, battlefield, battlefield 6, bioshock 4, call of duty, daredevil born again, darth maul, dcu, diego luna, disney+, django, eBay, evangeline lilly, gamestop, gaming, geek, gta vi, harry potter, hbo max, imax, king of the hill, lord of the rings, man of tomorrow, marvel studios, matthew lillard, maul shadow lord, may the 4th, memestock, meryl streep, mortal kombat, movies, narnia, neatherealm, nerd, nintendo, nintendo switch 2, ninteno, pokemon, regie fils-amie, roblox, rockstar games, sony interactive entertainment, star fox, star fox 64, star wars celebration, star wars day, super mario galaxy, superman, switch 2, take two interactive, the blair witch project, the crown, the devil wears prada 2, the hunt for golum, the mandalorian, the mandalorian and grogu, video games, viggo mortensen, walt disney pictures, zorro
Should we all for the sequel hate ragebait? Probably not. Xbox continues to make positive changes, will it mean anything? Sony suffers a legal loss, and the speculation about GTA VI's price keeps going. Daredevil gets a new status quo, while Maul cowers away. Star Wars Celebration tickets hit the market today, and boy what a cluster that was.

Is XBOX back? Its making the right moves, hopefully it sticks to them. PlayStation causes an overhyped uproar, but should we still be worried? Michael dominates the box office, despite not moonwalking the critics, class is out on Gen V at Amazon after 2 seasons. And Sony is exploring a Django & Zorro Team up movie, im all in.
