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!

Another week, another meltdown over Xbox exclusives and "WhY ShOuLd I bUy An XbOx", all because Phil continues to say the same thing over and over for years. We also got confirmation that the Mass Effect Television show is full steam ahead! Lets hope Amazon repeats the magic it did with Fallout.

Well the Golden Globes happened, and CES is still underway, hopefully you wont confuse the two. Lucasfilm dropped a thermal detonator's worth of news, a new star wars film, and a shows renewal. Xbox takes the first stage of 2024, and Star Citizen wants to take all your money, after it already did so. Layoffs continue in the gaming industry, as Hollywood kicks it back into high gear. Plus my favorite movies from 1991, since it was the year I was born. Come take a listen.
