Episode 422: Stepping on rakes again
June 17th, 2026 | 54 mins 16 secs
anya taylor joy, austin powers, batman, bbc, commodore, compulsion games, dc comics, dc studios, dcu, dead by daylight, death stranding, dont nod, double fine, dr. who, dreamworks, ea, epic games, fortnite, fox, fromsoftware, gaming, geek, george miller, gorilla grodd, harry potter, hbo, housemarque, jimmy olsen, kojima, kpop demon hunters, lego, lobo, lord of the rings, luna abyss, mad max, microsoft, movies, nerd, niantic, ninja scroll, ninja theory, nintendo, obsidian, palworld, paramount games, peter sarsgaard, playstation, pokemon, pokemon go, ps5, roku, shang chi, shrek 5, sie, sony, spider-man, supergirl, superman, taylor sheridan, tencent, the batman part 2, the hunt for golum, the last of us, tulsa king, tv, video games, weird al, xbox, yellowstone
Xbox can't help itself; it finds rakes out of nowhere to step on, and its all self-inflicted. There won't be any trips in the Tardis anytime soon, and who is to blame? George Miller wants to sell Mad Max, but why? And Fox buys Roku, which feels oddly familiar.

Episode 420: To be Phranque...

God of War Returns, and Wolverine is set for September. But so is every other game apparently. So while we all wait for GTA VI, we can now also wait even longer for Fable. Steam may have been hiding in plain sight as a villain all along, we now look to Lord Gaben for guidance. Spider-Noir is more Groucho than Cagney, but it might work in its favor. And Call of Duty is bringing us to East Asia.

Its time to start your engines, because a new Forza Horizon is out and ready to be driven, and all in the shadow of Mt. Fuji. Plus XBOX may have to go back to exclusives, while PlayStation is ditching PC. HBO gave us our first real look at Lanterns ahead of its August release, and PlayStation is also hoping on the price increase train, as PS+ gets a hike.

Should we all for the sequel hate ragebait? Probably not. Xbox continues to make positive changes, will it mean anything? Sony suffers a legal loss, and the speculation about GTA VI's price keeps going. Daredevil gets a new status quo, while Maul cowers away. Star Wars Celebration tickets hit the market today, and boy what a cluster that was.

Major Announcement we are shifting our coverage. This is a permanent change. No there isn't news about PlayStation raising prices. Or That Dave Chappelle is coming to CoD. Nintendo losing a lawsuit, not here. Netflix raising prices, I guess that might warrant sports coverage. Also not sure who Supergirl or He-man are.

Pokémon Go was used to farm us for AR images and map data, and Nvidia says we're wrong about DLSS5. Plus we have the Scooby gang all casted for Netflix's upcoming adaptation.
