We also get confirmation about the future of Deadpool 3, as well as the future of the MCU. Also Martian Manhunter will be in the Snyder Cut and Ray Fisher isnt backing down.

Episode 123: Next Gen Series N

alien, amazon prime video, amd, arroverse, assassins creed, black myth: wukong, borat 2, cyborg, daisy ridley, dc fandome, dceu, disney+, dune, ea games, ea play, fast 9, fast and furious, fortnite, gamestop, jelly belly, jj abrams, joss whedon, justice league, kenobi, lower decks, mcu, movies, netflix, next gen, nintendo, nintendo switch, prince of persia, q, robocop, scott pilgrim, scream 5, skull and bones, star trek, star wars, the flash, the oscars, the snydercut, the venture bros, the walking dead, thor 4, tiktok, tv shows, twitch, ubisoft, video game consoles, video games, willy wonka, wonder woman, xbox, xbox game pass, xbox series s, xbox series x, young justice
So we finally know that the Xbox Series S is real, but we also got a release and price for the Series X, and Nintendo finally enters the 4K world. Ubisoft teases use again with Sam Fisher, and no new splinter cell. Kenobi is one off, Robocop without Robocop, and Q is coming back to Starfleet. Borat 2 may already be done, Star Wars is broken, Dune is woken, Cyborg is soaken and Fast 9 is jokin.

Episode 119: When Infinite becomes Indefinite
August 19th, 2020 | 1 hr 14 mins
agents of shield, amc theaters, apple, avatar, avatar the last airbender, bioshock, blockbuster, control, dbz, dc comics, dc universe, disney, disney plus, dragonballfighterz, epic games, fortnite, fox, fresh prince of bel aire, g4, gta, halo, halo infinite, hbomax, ios, jared leto, jurassic world, lego star wars, macgruber, marvel, mcu, miles morales, movies, netflix, new mutants, next gen, nycc, oliva munn, peacock, ps4, ps5, remedy games, rockstar games, sam fisher, scott pilgrim, spider-man, splinter cell, star trek, star wars, the boys, tron 3, tv shows, twitch, ubisoft, video games, will smith, xbox series s, xbox series x
Will the delay of Halo Infinite hurt the Launch of Series X? Probably, Nick has some thoughts. Apple and Epic are duking it out in a battle for the ages, who will come out on top. Star Trek is boldly going but not as soon as you might expect, while Agents of Shield goes above and beyond expectations in its finale. Tron 3 is happening but at what cost? And movie theaters are opening but is it worth it? That and a hell of a lot more.

Nintendo seems to be shifting away from mobile, the all digital next Xbox is practically an open secret. Suicide Squad from Rocksteady? Sign me up. MIxer dies, as Twitch faces a reckoning. The doc is not in. Pokemon takes a major blow. Cyberpunk shines, and Marvels Avengers lands flat. Cobra Kai is shifting to Netflix, The Boys are back in September and the Muppet's are back sooner then you think. Margot Robbie is headed to the Caribbean, Spongebob is staying on TV, while Collin Trevorow is headed under the sea. Plus, Dodgson, we've got Dodgson here.
