Warner Bros has finally accepted its time to sell, after saying no to unwanted solicitors, Amazon paid pennies for James Bond. Xbox is sticking with the high prices, ಠ_ಠ, and more drama out of Ubisoft and Assassin's Creed. That and more on tonight's episode.

Episode 384: Mileage may vary
September 18th, 2025 | 1 hr 37 mins
a knight of the seven kingdoms, amazon prime video, amy poehler, anaconda, assassin's creed, asus, avengers, avengers: doomsday, battlefield 6, bethesda, boderlands 4, central perk, comedy central, console wars, dice, disney+, dr. doom, ea, elder scrolls online, eso, final fantasy vii, fire emblem, friends, game of thrones, gaming, gearbox interactive, geek, halle berry, hbo, hbo max, henry cavill, highlander, hollow knight silksong, house of the dragon, jack black, jimmy kimmel, joseph kosinski, mark hamill, mass effect, mega pokémon, miami vice, movies, nerd, netflix, nintendo, nintendo switch 2, paul rudd, pokémon, pokémon legends z-a, ricky gervais, robert redford, sega, seth rogan, sonic, south park, star wars, stephen king, super mario, super mario bros, super mario galaxy, superman, the batman pt 2, the elder scrolls, the emmys, the long walk, the muppet show, the muppets, the oscars, the witcher, tv, ubisoft, video games, xbox
While there are fun things to talk about, like the Muppets returning, Nintendo directs, the 90s Console wars, and the new Anaconda. There are also not fun things, like Nintendo and Pokémon behind paywalls, HBO and passwords, and The Long Walk. And at the end, a serious discussion about a topic I try to stay away from, but luckily, that's at the end. Enjoy

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 355: George's Vision
February 26th, 2025 | 52 mins 20 secs
007, a24, activision, amazonmgm, andor, avatar the last airbender, avowed, ayo edebiri, barney, black ops 6, bloober team, call of duty, captain america brave new world, christopher nolan, clayface, dave filoni, dc studios, dcu, disney+, elden ring, fable, gaming, geek, george lucas, george rr martin, harry potter, hbo, id@xbox, james bond, james gunn, john lithgow, kathleen kennedy, konami, lucasfilm, marvel studios, mcu, mgm, monolith productions, moon knight, movies, nerd, nickelodeon, obsidian entertainment, quantic dream, silent hill, spider-man 4, star wars, stephen king, the authority, the dark tower, the legend of korra, the punisher, tony hawk, tv, video games, warner bros, warner bros gaming, wonder woman, xbox
Do we all really want George's Vision? Or are we just saying that because its cool now? Is an Elden Ring movie coming? Will Fable release in 2026? I'm not really sure, but we do know the Wonder Woman game is no longer happening. With 007's future now in flux, Harry Potter's is more certain. The MCU changes some dates, and the DCU wipes one of the slate.

WE DID IT! WE MADE IT TO 350! That's right 350 episodes in the can! Who would've thought? Not me, well not really. Anyway we still got news! The Nintendo Switch 2 has been officially revealed, despite the lame name. Netflix is jacking up prices again...meanwhile the industry is hoping Rockstar charges $100 for GTA 6, here's hoping they don't. Ryan gosling may be heading to a galaxy far, far, away, and the spider-verse is going to be farther away.

And yes Marvel has delayed Blade one again, this time seemingly forever, and NYCC had some great announcements. In the gaming space, Ronald D Moore is taking over the God of War show, and Ubisoft disbands a team that made a successful game, who does that?? Meanwhile they continue to work on Beyond Good and Evil 2, and a new Rayman is coming.

And the Award goes too...boy was that a fun Oscars telecast, I enjoyed it. Full of nonsurprises. Also the world mourns the loss of a great man, we lost the Great Akira Toriyama last week, he provided to much to so many people, he will never be forgotten. And In the best news, Patty Jenkins is still making her Rogue Squadron movie for Lucasfilm! Plus we learned about a cancelled Spider-Man multiplayer game, Mario has his MAR10 day, and Shrek 2 is coming back to theaters. Come take a listen!

X-Men 97 is robbing us all of the cake, well, maybe, at least that is what the trailer is telling us. Marvel is also looking to dump Kang and his council, while DC is not printing money and is avoiding a Batman Beyond movie. How the could fumble the bag that much is beyond me. Also XBOX clarifies its future, and dumped water all of the nonsense fires that were burning on twitter. Nintendo dropped a direct, and with it the return of one of the best Star Wars games :Star Wars Battlefront II from 2005! That and more come take a listen.
