We cover topics such as AI Darth Vader joining the Fortnite universe, Red Dead Redemption possibly coming to the Switch 2, first impressions on Expedition 33: Clair Obscur, Oblivion Remastered Vs. Skyrim, Marvel Rivals Vs Overwatch, Wes Andersons upcoming film, news on the upcoming Miami Vice Movie and many more.  We hope you enjoy the episode!</itunes:subtitle>
