Xbox is always finding rakes to step on, which is ridiculous. After the success for NCAA College football, EA is brining NCAA College Basketball, and no one is shocked. Vin Diesel announces the plan for Fast X part 2, and there's major concerns. Matt Reeves finally finishes the Script for The Batman sequel, and James Gunn gives us who is playing Jor El. Plus a full review for F1 The Movie, which is hands down the best movie of the year so far. That and more on tonight's episode.

Episode 369: A Michael Bay Production
June 4th, 2025 | 1 hr 16 mins
007, Bethesda, EA, Hulu, MCU, Michael Bay, Netflix, Playstation, Ryan Reynolds, Star Wars, TV, The Witcher, Xbox, activision, andor, arc system works, call of duty, call of duty black ops 6, capcom, captain america, captain america brave new world, cd projekt red, cyberpunk 2077, d&d, dcu, disney+, doctor who, epic games, fantastic 4, galactus, gaming, geek, hagrid, happy gilmore, harry potter, hbo, io interactive, james bond, james gunn, king of the hill, knives out, lilo & stich, luke skywalker, mark hamill, marvel games, marvel studios, mission impossible, mortal kombat, movies, nerd, netflix tudum, nick frost, nintendo, nintendo switch 2, peacemaker, people can fly, pokémon, pokémon scarlet, pokémon violet, pragmata, red hulk, sinners, snyderverse, sony state of play, splinter cell, squid game, stig asmussen, stranger things, superman, the witcher 4, ubisoft, unreal, unreal engine, video games, vision quest, warnerbros, xbox handheld, zenimax, zynga
Guess what, there's another reason to question the existence of the PS5 Pro! The Sony Sate of Play was pretty solid today, and its mainly due to the James Bond game trailer. Microsoft pushes back its handheld plans, Nintendo keeps it close to the vest, and Activision has a blunder. Plus Netflix has its Tudum, Mark Hamill shares his future, and thank god we don't live in the Michael Bay Superman Timeline. Plus my review of Mission Impossible The Final Reckoning.

Episode 352: The Console Wars have ended
February 6th, 2025 | 1 hr 9 mins
AI, Dragon Age, EA, Hulu, MCU, Netflix, Star Wars, TV, Xbox, age of empires, avengers doomsday, battlefield, bioware, buffy, buffy the vampire slayer, capcom, captain america, chris evans, clair obscur, dice, disney+, dr disrespect, fantastic 4, forza horizon, forza horizon 5, forza motorsport, gaming, geek, indiana jones, jcvd, jurassic park, jurassic world, jurassic world rebirth, kickboxer, madden, mass effect, matthew lillard, mobile suit gundam, monster hunter wilds, movies, multiversus, nerd, nic cage, nintendo gamecube, nintendo switch 2, oscar isaac, playstation 5, pokémon, pokémon tcg pocket, ps5, scream, scream 7, simu liu, sleeping dogs, space world, squid game, steam, tariffs, video games, wb interactive, xbox game studios
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.

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.

The only election that matters is the Condo President of Del Boca Vista! Also in the news, the Switch's eventual successor will be backwards compatible, in what form, we don't actually know, and the Netflix animated series Arcane based on League of Legends cost more than most movies to make??? Plus 3 new LEGO movies are in development at Universal, and we got a full trailer for the new Star Wars show Skeleton Crew. The Goonies vibes are high! That plus a hell of a lot more.

AC Shadows Delayed, Ghosts of Yutei is coming, Meta announces the Quest 3s, and DC has found its Hal Jordan. Plus we got Sonic News, a Sony state of Play, and why Nintendo is suing Palworld. Ubisoft seems to be in a death spiral, hopefully they get out of it soon. We also have a Thunderbolts* trailer, more Netflix Geeked week trailers, and Robocop is headed to the small screen. Also a classic movie review of The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance starting John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart.

Well folks its finally happening, a Mafia game set in Sicily at the turn of the 20th Century! I am very excited! But that wasn't the only news out of Gamescom this week, another Bethesda title is going multiplatform, old franchises are returning, and new adaptations are unexpectedly coming! Also, don't go after actors for roles they play, they aren't really those characters! Meanwhile, Deadpool & Wolverine continues to break records, Indiana Jones's hat sells for over $600k, and The Acolyte is sent packing. Nic Cage, now here's a guy, will be playing John Madden, and forget the chicken sandwich war, Chick-fil-a is jumping into the streaming wars.
