Are you ready for Next Gen? Some studios are and some aren't. Sega is saying goodbye to a major facet of its history. Nintendo continues to dominate. The PS5 falls short in one big area. What's next for the future of Mass Effect? A mediocre showing for the Mandalorian. Jurassic World completes production, and Johnny Depp Departs the Fantastic Beast franchise.

PS5 and Xbox Series X are finally out in the wild. However, we know more about one then we do about the other, can you guess which is which? Nick also talks Crash Bandicoot 4 and Star Wars: Squadrons. Plus Marvels: Spider-Man has another new hiccup on PS%. Farmville is facing its doom. Quibi is over, and COPS is back, sorta. More movie delays, new movie podcasts, and Borat 2 is happening, very nice. Then we have serious questions about Jamie Foxx entering the MCU playing an unexpected character.

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.
