XBOX finally reveals its reset, as the Sony fallout continues. Are the console wars back on, or are we marching to a collapse. Jackass: Best and Last is definitely the last, but is it the best? The Emmy nominees are out, Hollywood shifts to gaming, and what's is going on with Fast & Furious?

Supergirl or Super girl? We have a full review of Supergirl, does it deserve all the hate? Xbox just unleashed a culling, and really they need to squash the rumors, and stop raising prices. Physical media is king, and we just multiple reasons for that, as the finger can be pointed purely at Sony.

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. Toy Story dominated the weekend, and no surprise there, and George Lucas is popping up in a very likely place. That and more this week!

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.

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.
