So more news out of Gamescom, including Baldur&#39;s Gate finally on Xbox, what Sonic&#39;s future holds, and how long it takes to follow the fellowship through Moria. Mortal Kombat isnt just rebooting its story, Sony jacks up its prices, and Imagine Dragons make a song for Starfield. Meanwhile, in Hollywood, WarnerBros delays movies, Disney releases streaming data, and the Late Night hosts launch a podcast. Also my favorite 80s SciFi movies. </p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<p>Its Morphin Time! Did anyone else notice how cheesy The MMPR 30th anniversary special was? Also the absence of certain people was extremely noticeable. Mando ended today, and it was not as satisfying as I had hoped. Star Trek Picard brought the D, and the F to the party, but who invited the Borg? Sonic and the Angry Birds are getting together, and Oppenheimer is not going to let Barbara drop the bomb on him. That and more on this weeks episode!</p>]]>
