We also get confirmation about the future of Deadpool 3, as well as the future of the MCU. Also Martian Manhunter will be in the Snyder Cut and Ray Fisher isnt backing down.

Episode 124: Pre-Order? Who said anything about pre-ordering

Did you get a PS5? Probably not, and its not your fault. Facebook double down on the Oculus platform. No Bungie and Microsoft aren't getting back together. Beyond Good and Evil has lost its head, but luckily not every body needs a head. Also more PS5 news. Small Screen shenanigan's like Disney+, The Mandalorian drops a trailer, and DC Universe falls to HBO Max. Is Ant-Man 3 setting up the big bad for phase 4 in the MCU? And Noah Hawleys Star Trek sounded like a snooze fest.

So we finally know that the Xbox Series S is real, but we also got a release and price for the Series X, and Nintendo finally enters the 4K world. Ubisoft teases use again with Sam Fisher, and no new splinter cell. Kenobi is one off, Robocop without Robocop, and Q is coming back to Starfleet. Borat 2 may already be done, Star Wars is broken, Dune is woken, Cyborg is soaken and Fast 9 is jokin.
