  <itunes:subtitle>Pour one out for the Homie Bob Barker, keeping all millennials and Gen Xers company on sick days. So more news out of Gamescom, including Baldur's Gate finally on Xbox, what Sonic'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. </itunes:subtitle>
