Episode 355: George's Vision
February 26th, 2025 | 52 mins 20 secs

Do we all really want George's Vision? Or are we just saying that because its cool now? Is an Elden Ring movie coming? Will Fable release in 2026? I'm not really sure, but we do know the Wonder Woman game is no longer happening. With 007's future now in flux, Harry Potter's is more certain. The MCU changes some dates, and the DCU wipes one of the slate.

Another week another round of gaming layoffs, are you shocked? Didn't think so. Should CoD go Free to Play? Some gamers think so after the newest crossover. SNL celebrated its 50th and it was a damn good show, The Accountant finally shows off its sequel, and we have a full review of Captain America: Brave New World.

Episode 353: Read Beyond the Headlines

Was it just me or were the commercials at the Super Bowl just not as good as they used to be? Even movie trailers were lacking. Anyway, PlayStation had a state of play and announced another remaster of a game that's less than 10 years old (-_-). An American in a major Harry potter role? A law about movie roles? How bout no, and A new Rocksteady Batman???

Episode 352: The Console Wars have ended

Yes that's right, I'm declaring an end to the console wars, and its end comes with Forza heading to PS5. They end not with a bang, but a whimper. Also Multiversus fails to capture any market share from Super Smash Bros, and is shutting down after a year. Both Fantastic Four and Jurassic World Rebirth drop some serious trailers. And EA faces and interesting future. While Disney+ loses almost a million subs, and Buffy is returning to a screen near you.

How about that Superman Trailer....people need to chill. Is Bioware doomed? Is Xbox really going to change to publishing? The Oscars controversy continues, and Robert Eggers is heading to the land of Labyrinth, which I miss David Bowie even more. Also Fans need to chill, for real....

WE DID IT! WE MADE IT TO 350! That's right 350 episodes in the can! Who would've thought? Not me, well not really. Anyway we still got news! The Nintendo Switch 2 has been officially revealed, despite the lame name. Netflix is jacking up prices again...meanwhile the industry is hoping Rockstar charges $100 for GTA 6, here's hoping they don't. Ryan gosling may be heading to a galaxy far, far, away, and the spider-verse is going to be farther away.

Episode 349: I like the idea of it...

We finally know who will play Baylan Skoll after the death of Ray Stevenson. Ubisoft is facing an uncertain future, and Nintendo's is coming into view. LEGO wants to enter the handheld console market, and Marvel Rivals wants to keep adding heroes. Sonic and Mario are battling over new territory, the box office. Any Muschietti misses the mark, while Daredevil hits the bullseye. That and more, come take a listen.

The Golden Globes came and went, Shogun wrapped up, and we might have a greater picture of how the Oscars might play out this year. Plus NVIDIA and AMD come out swinging at CES. Sony wants to adapt more of their gaming IPs and Activision is spending a lot on Call of Duty, are we really surprised though? Squid Game 2 wows with its intensity, Will Smith is teasing something with the Matrix and LA is burning, literally.
