Star Trek has been boldly going for 60 years, but Paramount seems to make us want to forget that. Link has been rescuing Zelda for 40 years, and this year he will be doing it all over again, as we discuss the Nintendo Direct. Don't signal for rescue, because Mayday was a lot better than expected, and Star Wars is heading to a 70mm not near you. And we finally know what Godzilla Minus Zero is really about.

Episode 429: Small Potato Stuff
August 5th, 2026 | 1 hr 19 mins
70mm, AMD, Christopher Nolan, Dungeons & Dragons, EA, EA Games, God of War, Lucasfilm, MCU, Playstation, Sony, Spider-Man, Star Wars, TV, WoW, Xbox, activision, barbie, black ops 1 & 2, blade, booster gold, call of duty, call of duty black ops, clueless, dave bautista, dcu, disney, disney+, dnd, elden ring, final fantasy vii, from software, game of thrones, gaming, geek, george rr martin, gpu, henry cavill, imax, james may, jeremy clarkson, kratos, midnight club, moana, movies, nerd, nvidia, oded fehr, paramount+, pif, pokemon, ps5, ram, richard hammond, rockstar games, samsung, sony columbia pictures, sony interactive entertainment, sony pictures, spider-man brand new day, squareenix, steam, steam machine, the grand tour, the mandalorian, the mummy, the odyssey, tiktok, valve, video games, walt disney pictures, warhammer, warhammer40k, warnerbros, wonder man, world of warcraft, x-men
Spider-Man swung back into theaters, and it did exactly what we knew it would. The question is though, was it good? The RAMageddon becomes the RAMpocalypse, as it comes for every component, and will continue forever. Black Ops 1 & 2 jump the sales charts, and EA goes private. Meanwhile we should have listened to Wesley when he said he was the only Blade.

If you are looking for a review of the odyssey, you wont find it here, but we have other exciting news. Like Disney cuts Pixar staff, even after making a billion dollars. Or Is Nintendo justified in telling consumers to stuff it after tariff refunds? PlayStation ain't budging on ditching discs, and some sales numbers back them up. But hey, at least we got a trailer for Avengers Doomsday!

Did He-Man come out a few decades too late? I liked the movie, but does it have the power? Summer Games Fest hit Friday afternoon with a bang, Xbox brought the lancer, and immediately stepped on a rake. Meanwhile Nintendo finally revealed the game everyone knew about, as the Ocarina of time returns. Plus a new 21 Jump street is coming, but why the skip to 24?

Let's do Hutt Stuff while Mando is away. We've got a review of The Mandalorian and Grogu, and Nick updates his Star Wars Ranking. Plus The Steam Deck is the latest gaming device to get a price hike, but hey at least a new Witcher 3 DLC is coming out! Excelsior! Stan Lee is coming back, but i'm not so sure everyone will be happy about that, and Bungie is taking the light out of Destiny 2.

Fatality! Mortal Kombat II is out, and its hilarious, in a good way! Plus Mixtape shines in a way I never expected. Meanwhile, Nintendo jumps on the price increase bandwagon, Ahsoka is stuck in another galaxy for another year, and peacock is about to get a speed boost.

Star Trek has found its new Bones and Sulu, yet we have to wait a while before we actually see them. The video game industry lost a true legend, and we salute everything Vince Zampella brought us. Marvel goes back to what it knows for Doomsday, and Macauly decides what is and isn't a Christmas Movie. Plus we may have to wait a little longer for 007's video game return.

The Warner Bros and Netflix saga has begun, despite Paramount's eagerness, CCXP brought the trailers, and Wake Up Dead man dropped on Netflix. Come take a listen.
