Xbox has no games? You sure about that? Because I don't think that's a viable diss anymore. Did you get an Xbox Series X? Was it easier then PS5? Harder? Amazon has entered the game Streaming fray. Supergirl is super no more, while WandaVision and Nick Fury are taking off. Meanwhile John Cena gets his own comic book show. Disney issues more delays, and 2020 is the first year since 2010 without an MCU movie. Also Transformers: BeastWars are coming back baby!

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.

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.
