  <itunes:subtitle>Well Star Wars fans can continue to argue, because Kathleen Kennedy stepping down certainly wont stop them. But something to stop to listen to, is George RR Martin telling all to the Hollywood Reporter. Plus, Fallout Season 2 is not falling behind season 1, people just don't remember how TV works. Ubisoft decided to lay a big one on the gaming industry by cancelling another Prince of Persia game, and Netflix wants to keep WB movies on the big screen if the merger goes through. That and more on this weeks episode. </itunes:subtitle>

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>
