If it wasn't blatantly obvious, todays top story is the review of Mortal Kombat! Also PS5 is outdoing projections. Xbox has a solid Q3, Titanfall 2 sees a spike, and Little Big Planet is up in the air. The Falcon and The Winter Solider nails its landing, and we haven't seen the last of Justice League Unlimited. The Oscar goes to a MCU director, Captain America 4 is in the works. Adam Wingard might not be done with the Monsterverse, and the streaming wars aren't slowing down.

While Netflix is increasing its theatrical and Anime Output. The Streaming wars are heating up in response. Obi-Wan will have returning characters, but not the ones you think. The Suicide Squad looks great, and I mean that. All that, and Comic-Con may be back in a new way. Come take a listen.

We are back after last weeks detour. And we are back with episode 150. I can believe we hit 150 that's wild. Anyway this week is all about The Snyder Cut, ok not really but it a big portion. PlayStation buys Evo while Xbox sets its sights on Discord. Activision is in a tricky spot. Falcon and The Winter Solider is here and falls somewhat flat, despite setting up a bigger story. And the best Clone Wars is headed to Disney+. Meanwhile, Indiana Jones joins the 4k world. Disney shifts all its release dates, and we see what's up with the Oscars this year.

The Microsoft acquisition of Bethesda is complete, so what does that mean for the future? Marvels avengers is not helping its case, and is heading down the Anthem path. WandaVision had an underwhelming finale, and the Flash is setting up things to come. While the Powerpuff girls are headed to the CW. Star Trek once again teases its film future. Amazon boasts that Coming 2 America had the best streaming debut, even though the movie was very mediocre. Meanwhile Disney+ and Space Jam cause a bit of a row, and Nick takes on the culture war.
