If you cant tell by the title, we have a review of Marvel's Spider-Man 2! Which is probably one of the best games of the year, and that's a fact. We also have news from Xbox's Partner Showcase, Twitchcon, and Magic the Gathering. Star Citizen assures us its not vaporware, and Doug Bowser plays coy about Nintendo's next. Meanwhile, in Hollywood, the SAG-AFTRA strikes passes 100 days, but progress may be back on the horizon. Two Hollywood legends say goodbye, and Taylor Swift takes over Hollywood again. Also in our continuing series, we have Nick's Top 10 90s Horror Movies!

Episode 278: Only shooting stars break the mold
September 6th, 2023 | 1 hr 12 mins
80s animated, 80s movies, aaron paul, adam driver, ahsoka, akira, amc networks, an american tail, animalympics, barbie, bethesda games, bethesda softworks, beyond good and evil, boderlands 3, cdprojektred, charles martinet, chicken run, cyberpunk, daredevil, dcu, disney+, doug bowser, ea sports, embracer group, final fantasy xvi, gen v, godzilla, handheld pc, late night hosts, lenovo, lucasfilm, mario, max, mcu, miyazaki, mortal kombat, movies, netflix, nintendo, one piece, pete hines, red faction, redfall, rotten tomatoes, sag-aftra, saints row, skull & bones, square enix, stalker 2, star wars, stardew valley, starfield, stgray, super mario bros, taylor swift, the boys, the eras tour, the exorcist, the flash, the land before time, the little mermaid, the walking dead, tmnt, todd howard, toho, tv shows, ubisoft, ukraine, video games, volition, warner bros, what if...?, wrc, x-men 97
Another summer ends, that means its new game season, and to start it off we have my early thoughts on Starfield, which is definitely going to be one of my favorite games. We also have a potential third strike coming as SAG-AFTRA looks to strike against the video game publishers. Doug Bowser opens up about Nintendo's future, and Skull & Bones hits another hurdle. Adam Drive, Aaron Paul and others speak out against the AMPTP, Toho drops a big new Godzilla trailer, and Ahsoka was amazing. Also my top 10 80s animated movies gets a shoutout.

Episode 272: A movieless Comic Con
July 27th, 2023 | 55 mins 49 secs

What happens when all the major studios pull out of comic con? nothing really, it keeps going because comic con is more then movies and television. We also learned about some major Ubisoft shakeups, kart racers are making a comeback, and Sony's Project Q leaks. Plus Barbenheimer makes for the 4th biggest box office weekend, MOVIES are in fact back! Also due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA and WGA Strikes, i have dedicated some time talking about old movies, this week we have my favorite movies made in the 1950's.

If the title doesn't give it away, Wolverine is finally wearing his comics accurate suit. THIS IS NOT A DRILL! 24 years later and its finally happening. Anyway, Microsoft seems to have won its case against the FTC, and its acquisition of ActivisionBlizzard should be able to go through. The Emmys have announced their nominees, Ashoka released a trailer, and Bog Iger isn't going anywhere anytime soon. That and a whole lot more.

Looks like those AMC Stonks really worked in our favor, (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻. I am overjoyed that I don't have an AMC near me, because if I did, I would be even angrier. Any who, we had a Pokémon-less Nintendo Direct, but it was heavy on the Zelda, The UK and the EU write stern warning in regards to the Activision Microsoft Deal. Sony has a great gaming quarter, and the Switch jumps to #3 all time. The Justin Roiland drama heats up to a new level, and makes me happy about Rick & Morty's future, The Bad Batch may have peaked, and we get to return to Point Place, Wisconsin for another summer. Meanwhile we have what's new on Streaming, as well as news out of Disney, and of course, the aforementioned nonsense coming from AMC.

Those Microsoft Layoffs may have a greater impact on gaming then we might realize, especially for Master Chief. NVIDIA and Google voice their concerns over the Activision deal, but stop short of jumping in Sony's bandwagon. Pour one out for Stadia, as today was its final day. Mark Hamill gives and update on playing the Joker, Spielberg wants to jump into TV, the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers are coming back. Meanwhile the BatVerse is more real then you realize, James Cameron hits another Billion, and Rainbow Six is coming to the big screen.

Yes you heard that right! Lord Gaben has spoken and we all should listen! Anywho, Nick finally got his Analogue Pocket so listen to him speak of its wares, we also prepare for tomorrows The Game Awards, unions are gaining strength in the Games Industry, and Sony is gonna Sony! The Rings of Power ads 15 new cast members, the Boys sets its sights on a spinoff, and what's going on at HBO Max? Meanwhile last Thursday was movie trailer day! We finally get to see Rise of the Beasts and Indiana Jones and the dial of destiny. Meanwhile is the Snyderverse actually going to die?

Episode 225: A Chungus Among Us

The Big Chungus will never be forgotten, as WB Games has registered a trademark in his honor. Video Game TV shows are coming, and we shouldn't have to wait very long. Lower Deck's Returns and doesn't pull any punches, while House of the Dragon brings back the intrigue and drama Westeros is known for. Meanwhile Axel Foley is back and I couldn't be happier.

Well I'm thoroughly convinced Warner Bro's has no idea how to run film franchises anymore. As Batgirl has been shelved, potentially forever, and I mean forever. PlayStation kills a feature no one ever used, Streaming heats up this August, and the Arrowverse may have a end date.

If the title isn't clear, this is a PlayStation news heavy week. Not all news, but a good chunk. EA is making waves with a new Skate Announcement. LEGO has a few big announcements up its sleeve, that's what she said! Amazon and HBO Max aren't pulling any punches with new trailer drops. Netflix is double down on its password enforcement. And was the movement to restore the Snyderverse all a ruse? That and more in this weeks episode.
