What are you doing in my swamp, because Shrek 5 is closer then you think. E3 is cancelled, and probably forever if we believe the games media. Scott Pilgrim is returning to our screens, and with the same cast as the movie. The Mandalorian brings the cameos and make sure to stick around because we will have a review of Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves

If the title wasn't an indication of the news then I don't know how to tell you this. But Good Burger is coming Back! Good Burrger 2 was announced, among other things. But the Second Dominion war seems to be heading our way in the star trek universe, the Unreal Engine is literally forging new paths, the Power Rangers are back, and Shazam 2 was funnier then it had any business being.

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.

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!

If that headline doesn't give it away, then you are listening to the wrong podcast, hehe. GTA6 is finally announced, but don't expect to hear about it again for quite some time. The Nintendo Switch is getting hit with a lot of yesterdays games, and you know what, that's ok, cause its getting some new ones too. Meanwhile, expect the super bowl to have a ton of teases for future entertainment, including Amazon's Lord of the Rings, and Disney+ says screw it and finally announces the release date of Kenobi. Also Lord & Miller gush about MIB 23 the movie that never was, the Oscars half snub DUNE, and Tom Holland is just trying to play every PlayStation Mascot at this point.
