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.

Episode 248: Stonk Market Crash
February 9th, 2023 | 1 hr 12 mins

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 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.

Episode 221: WB's Killing Joke

activision blizzard, alicia vikander, andor, aquaman 2, arrowverse, batfleck, batgirl, batman, ben affleck, black adam, bungie, call of duty, cars, cars on the road, creed 3, dc's league of super pets, dceu, disney+, ea, ea games, game of thrones, guardians of the galaxy, hbo max, ivan drago, joker 2, justin roiland, kevin feige, lara croft, lightning mcqueen, logitech, mcu, mgm, movies, netflix, nichele nichols, nintendo, pat carrol, pixar, playstation, playstation 5, pokémon, pokémon scarlet, pokémon violet, prime video, ps5, rick and morty, rocky, sega, sega genesis, sega genesis mini, shazam 2, she-hulk, snyderverse, sony, sony playstation, star trek, star wars, sylvester stallone, tencent gaming, the avengers, the boys, the cw, the flash, the infinity saga, the multiverse saga, tomb raider, tony hawk, tony hawk's pro skater, tv shows, video games
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.

We also have a review of Jurassic World Dominion; hint, its not as bad as the internet would have you believe. Also other gaming news, and movie news. As well as reviews for Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 5, and Ms. Marvel episode 2.

Episode 213: Wait where are the E's? Aren't there supposed to be 3?
June 8th, 2022 | 51 mins 58 secs

There is definitely a noticeable difference when E3 doesn't happen. Yet the gaming worlds keeps trucking. Sony dropped their state of play last week, which revelated Street Fighter 6 to the world. Sonic decided to stop by and announce new licensing deals. CoD is coming back with a vengeance. Netflix hosts its annual Geeked Week, and the CW is just idk man. Meanwhile Top Gun continues its dominance, Joker 2 is a real thing, and Beavis and Butthead Return!
