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

You read that title correctly, the second longest WGA strike is officially over! But as that ends, the SAG strike continues, and a SAG strike against the video game publishers looms. Meanwhile, final wrap ups from Tokyo Game Show, The Xbox Activision Deal is finally free to close, Jim Ryan is retiring from PlayStation, and Meta drops details about the Meta Quest 3. In Hollywood, Netflix debuts trailers for a lot of new animation, Amazon is bringing ad's to Prime Video, and Dan Harmon opens up about his working "relationship" with Justin Roiland. To cap off the show we have my favorite 10 80s Family Movies.

Nintendo seems to be shifting away from mobile, the all digital next Xbox is practically an open secret. Suicide Squad from Rocksteady? Sign me up. MIxer dies, as Twitch faces a reckoning. The doc is not in. Pokemon takes a major blow. Cyberpunk shines, and Marvels Avengers lands flat. Cobra Kai is shifting to Netflix, The Boys are back in September and the Muppet's are back sooner then you think. Margot Robbie is headed to the Caribbean, Spongebob is staying on TV, while Collin Trevorow is headed under the sea. Plus, Dodgson, we've got Dodgson here.
