Will Tina Fey take over Saturday Night Live? I think Lorne Michaels hopes she does. Plus the Halo Battle Royale was almost real, despite 343 always saying they wouldn't make one. Plus the Emmys happened, and The Bear, Beef, and Succession all walked away as winners. That and more on this weeks Nick's Nerd News.

We had a lot of investor news this week, between WB's earnings call, the Sony State of Play, and a Pokémon Presents. EA wants to beef up production on Battlefield, while Ubisoft seems to be less and less interested in beyond good and evil 2 with each passing day. HBO Max loses one prequel and gains another. The Mando is back, and the Lord of the Rings may be as well. That and more come take a listen.

Why does Nintendo always have such poor community outreach? At least when it comes to games that aren't Pokémon. is there more trouble brewing for the Microsoft acquisition of ActivisionBlizzard? What made the Fallout TV show so much more appealing this time around? AMC is facing its own Walking Dead, Netflix has a hit with Wednesday and Disney+ is bring in more Fox properties. Andor ending on the highest note possible. Meanwhile Indy 5 impressed Harrison, James Gunn hints at whats to come, the Cocaine Bear is getting the movie adaptation it deserved!

Meanwhile Rings of Power defies all of my expectations.
