Episode 248: Stonk Market Crash
February 9th, 2023 | 1 hr 12 mins
AMC, Adult Swim, Dexter, Fire Emblem, GTA V, Injustice, Metroid, Netflix, Playstation, Rick and Morty, Sony, Star Wars, TV shows, The Legend of Zelda, WoW, Xbox, Xbox 360, activisionblizzard, advance wars, amazon prime video, assassin's creed valhalla, atari, avatar the way of water, banjo kazooie, bayonetta, billions, bob iger, brendan fraser, constantine 2, crossfire x, detective pikachu, discovery+, disney, disney+, elizabeth banks, fawlty towers, frozen, game boy advance, gameboy, gladiator 2, gta vi, guardians of the galaxy vol. 3, hbo, hbo max, hogwarts legacy, james cameron, katamari, kevin costner, mario kart 8, metroid prime remastered, mlb the show 23, movie theaters, movies, netherealm, nick offerman, nintendo, nintendo switch, octopath traveler, overwatch 2, paramount+, pikmin, pokémon, professor layton, ps5, regal, seth rogan, showtime, solar opposites, sony interactive entertainment, sony playstation, splatoon, star wars visions, superman, take two interactive, that 90s show, the bad batch, the boys, the clone wars, the grammys, the last of us, the mcu, the negro leagues, titanic, toy story, video games, world of warcraft, xenoblade chronicles, yellowstone, zootopia
Looks like those AMC Stonks really worked in our favor, (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻. I am overjoyed that I don't have an AMC near me, because if I did, I would be even angrier. Any who, we had a Pokémon-less Nintendo Direct, but it was heavy on the Zelda, The UK and the EU write stern warning in regards to the Activision Microsoft Deal. Sony has a great gaming quarter, and the Switch jumps to #3 all time. The Justin Roiland drama heats up to a new level, and makes me happy about Rick & Morty's future, The Bad Batch may have peaked, and we get to return to Point Place, Wisconsin for another summer. Meanwhile we have what's new on Streaming, as well as news out of Disney, and of course, the aforementioned nonsense coming from AMC.

February 2nd, 2023 | 1 hr 14 mins
343i, Batgirl, DC, E3, EA, Halo, Hulu, Jordan Peele, MCU, Microsoft, Netflix, Phil Spencer, Sony, Spider-Man, Star Wars, TV shows, Tomb Raider, Xbox, activision blizzard, akira, amanda waller, amazon prime video, amazon studios, apex legends, aquaman, avatar the way of water, bad boys 4, bane, batman, capcom, cowboy bebop, creature commandos, creed, dave bautista, dc elseworlds, dcu, disney+, esa, ezra miller, fraiser, games with gold, glass onion, green lanterns, halo infinite, hbo, hbo max, james cameron, james gunn, john wick 4, king of the hill, michael b jordan, midnighter, mlb the show, movies, national treasure, naughty dog, one piece, paramount+, peacemaker, pennyworth, peter safran, playstation studios, psn+, psvr2, resident evil 4, respawn entertainment, showtime, sony playstation 5, squid game, star wars jedi survivor, stranger things, streaming, street fighter 6, succession, super heroes, supergirl, superman, the authority, the bad batch, the flash, the last of us, the thunderbolts, titanfall, tobey mcguire, uncharted, video games, warner bros, wonder woman, wwe, xbox series x, xbox studios
Is E3 dead again? seems like it. PSVR2 dead on arrival? Halo Infinite dead? why is everything dying in the video game industry??? Netflix dominated 2022, and is looking to lose it all in 2023 with their password crackdown. It also looks like 2023 is the year of the revival with both King of the Hill and Fraiser coming back. Then in the biggest news of the week James Gunn and Peter Safran finally lay out their grand design for DC and somehow it includes Booster Gold.

Well the Golden Globes huh, how about them apples? Also how are no physical games being sold in the UK, that makes absolutely no sense. Some genre defining directors are making some missteps, WarnerBros is trying out a "were sorry" approach, Paramount+ makes some interesting choices for non Star Trek Properties.

Episode 238: Nintendo gonna Nintendo

Why does Nintendo always have such poor community outreach? At least when it comes to games that aren't Pokémon. is there more trouble brewing for the Microsoft acquisition of ActivisionBlizzard? What made the Fallout TV show so much more appealing this time around? AMC is facing its own Walking Dead, Netflix has a hit with Wednesday and Disney+ is bring in more Fox properties. Andor ending on the highest note possible. Meanwhile Indy 5 impressed Harrison, James Gunn hints at whats to come, the Cocaine Bear is getting the movie adaptation it deserved!

Jorts? Who wears Jorts? Kevin Smith wears jorts, and Clerks 3 is out and we have a review. Is Sony making the right moves with PlayStation right now? Who knows. Google kills Stadia, finally, Overwatch 2 has a shakey launch, and who will rule the video game world, Saudi Arabia or Tencent? Meanwhile Community gets its 6 seasons and a movie, Fraiser is coming back to the airwaves, and is Blade dead?
