Episode 422: Stepping on rakes again
June 18th, 2026 | 54 mins 16 secs
DC comics, Dr. Who, EA, Fortnite, Mad Max, Microsoft, Playstation, Roku, Sony, Spider-Man, TV, Xbox, anya taylor joy, austin powers, batman, bbc, commodore, compulsion games, dc studios, dcu, dead by daylight, death stranding, dont nod, double fine, dreamworks, epic games, fox, fromsoftware, gaming, geek, george miller, gorilla grodd, harry potter, hbo, housemarque, jimmy olsen, kojima, kpop demon hunters, lego, lobo, lord of the rings, luna abyss, movies, nerd, niantic, ninja scroll, ninja theory, nintendo, obsidian, palworld, paramount games, peter sarsgaard, pokemon, pokemon go, ps5, shang chi, shrek 5, sie, supergirl, superman, taylor sheridan, tencent, the batman part 2, the hunt for golum, the last of us, tulsa king, video games, weird al, yellowstone
Xbox can't help itself; it finds rakes out of nowhere to step on, and its all self-inflicted. There won't be any trips in the Tardis anytime soon, and who is to blame? George Miller wants to sell Mad Max, but why? And Fox buys Roku, which feels oddly familiar.

Two of our biggest stories this week are making the internet collectively ask...Make it make sense. And guess what, I'm joining them. What is Xbox's strategy, and why is it so ever changing lately. Also how did we kill cable, only for it to come back. Plus Nintendo still doesn't want to talk about the Switch 2. Also the Office is coming back, so of course that's what we get in the hellscape of 2024. But I swear its a fun episode...come and take a listen.

You read that correctly, the state of the gaming world is unreal, as in Unreal Engine. As the GDC is fully underway, there was still a lot of news to get through. From Epic games having their state of Unreal, to Saber Interactive breaking free from Embracers embrace, to the failure of the PSVR 2, and Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection taking a nosedive. Also Popeye, The Cat in the Hat, and The Never Ending Story are all making some kind of comeback, The Acolyte gets its first trailer, and Dune Pt. 2 continues to sizzle as the box office. That and a whole lot more.
