Its not October 3rd, but thats ok. Got a bit of a doozy this week, Sony scrubs all mention of the KotoR Remake from their socails, and acts like its perfectly normal, several Ubisoft execs were arrested by French Police, and the French Govt. raids Nvidia, its a bad day to be in the French gaming industry. As the writers get back to work, SAG meets with the studios to try and negotiate their deal, as streamers seek to increase their rates yet again. Also we have a review of the Ahsoka season finale, as well as Gareth Edward's The Creator. We wrap up the show with our last list of 80s movies, this week, Drama.

Episode 185: Everybody gets a Smash clone!

Halo Infinite MP has been out a week, and I have some thoughts. Meanwhile that rumored WarnerBros Smash clone is real, and its spectacular. The external pressure on Activision is growing, and internal pressure isn't simmering down either. Meanwhile Lucasfilm is setting its sights on the future of the franchise, and TV seems to be the path. The MCU is setting up multiple secret projects, and Ghostbusters: Afterlife is a sequel worth your time.
