Episode 427: Zeus's Law
July 22nd, 2026 | 1 hr 6 mins
70mm, a24, activision, ai, amazon prime video, aston martin, avengers, avengers doomsday, backrooms, bethesda, bungie, call of duty, chrisotpher nolan, clayface, coleman domingo, days of thunder, dc, dcu, deadpool, disney, doctor doom, donkey kong, ebay, fallout, fallout 5, gamestop, gaming, geek, god of war, grand theft auto 6, gta 6, harada, hoppers, hulu, imax, infinity ward, jason bourne, knights of the old republic, kotor, kratos, lego, marathon, marvel comics, marvel studios, matt damon, mcu, modern warfare 4, movies, nerd, nintendo, nintendo switch 2, obsidian entertainment, paramount pictures, physical media, pixar, playstation, playstation 5, pokemon, pokemon go, roblox, robocop, ryan reynolds, saber interactive, sony, space marine 2, star wars, starfield, tekken, the elder scrolls, the elder scrolls 6, the odyssey, the princess and the frog, the x-files, tom cruise, toy story 5, tv, video games, walt disney pictures, warhammer, warhammer 40k, warner bros, xbox
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!

From The Batman part II being delayed, to Steam making $11b in 6 months. From the rising tide in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynched, to the lack of IMAX 70mm. Yet that all couldn't save Moana from Te Fiti, you're welcome?

Episode 425: The Console Wars?
July 8th, 2026 | 1 hr 11 mins
007, activision, ai, arkane, asha sharma, assassin's creed, avatar, bethesda, black flag resynched, bungie, christopher nolan, compulsion games, danny mcbride, dcu, dennis villenueve, destiny 2, double fine, dune, dune part 3, fallout, fast & furious, gaming, geek, gene wilder, gi joe, hollywood, id software, jackass, jackass: best and last, james bond, john romero, johnny knoxville, marvel toko: fighting souls, mecha chamleon, microsoft, mister terrific, moana, movies, nerd, netflix, nickelodeon, ninja theory, nintendo, nintendo switch, nintendo switch 2, obsidian, paramount+, playstation, playstation 5, pokemon, senua, sony, steve-o, supergirl, the avatar: the last airbender, the emmys, the rock, tv, ubisoft, undead labs, universal pictures, video games, xbox, xbox game pass
XBOX finally reveals its reset, as the Sony fallout continues. Are the console wars back on, or are we marching to a collapse. Jackass: Best and Last is definitely the last, but is it the best? The Emmy nominees are out, Hollywood shifts to gaming, and what's is going on with Fast & Furious?

Episode 424: Not my Monkeys, Not My Circus
July 1st, 2026 | 1 hr 25 mins
absolute batman, arkane, blade, bungie, dcu, destiny 2, disney, esa, far cry, gaming, geek, gta 6, gta vi, hasbro, hbo, hbo max, io interactive, james gunn, jesse eisenberg, joker, lizzy kaplan, marathon, microsoft, minecraft, mojang, movies, nerd, netflix, nintendo, nintendo switch, nintendo switch 2, peppa pig, persona, physical media, pixar, playstation, playstation 5, quantic dream, ratatouille, sie, sony, sony interactive entertainment, star wars, supergirl, tekken, the social network, the sopranos, tv, ubisoft, undead labs, video games, xbox, xbox series x
Supergirl or Super girl? We have a full review of Supergirl, does it deserve all the hate? Xbox just unleashed a culling, and really they need to squash the rumors, and stop raising prices. Physical media is king, and we just multiple reasons for that, as the finger can be pointed purely at Sony.

Episode 423: The Vice City of it All
June 24th, 2026 | 1 hr 4 mins

The wait is over for GTA VI....information. WE have all the details on GTA VI, and no its not getting delayed anymore. Valve also dropped the curtain on the Steam Machine and it is not cheap. Toy Story dominated the weekend, and no surprise there, and George Lucas is popping up in a very likely place. That and more this week!

Episode 422: Stepping on rakes again
June 18th, 2026 | 54 mins 16 secs
anya taylor joy, austin powers, batman, bbc, commodore, compulsion games, dc comics, dc studios, dcu, dead by daylight, death stranding, dont nod, double fine, dr. who, dreamworks, ea, epic games, fortnite, fox, fromsoftware, gaming, geek, george miller, gorilla grodd, harry potter, hbo, housemarque, jimmy olsen, kojima, kpop demon hunters, lego, lobo, lord of the rings, luna abyss, mad max, microsoft, movies, nerd, niantic, ninja scroll, ninja theory, nintendo, obsidian, palworld, paramount games, peter sarsgaard, playstation, pokemon, pokemon go, ps5, roku, shang chi, shrek 5, sie, sony, spider-man, supergirl, superman, taylor sheridan, tencent, the batman part 2, the hunt for golum, the last of us, tulsa king, tv, video games, weird al, xbox, yellowstone
Xbox can't help itself; it finds rakes out of nowhere to step on, and its all self-inflicted. There won't be any trips in the Tardis anytime soon, and who is to blame? George Miller wants to sell Mad Max, but why? And Fox buys Roku, which feels oddly familiar.

Episode 421: By the Power of Grayskull
June 10th, 2026 | 1 hr 13 mins
007 first light, 21 jump street, amazon games, asha, crazy taxi, desitny 2, devil may cry, disney+, gaming, gears of war, gears of war e-day, geek, god of war, god of war laufey, halo, he-man, house, hugh laurie, ign live, io interactive, jason momoa, kojima, lucasfilm, marjane satrapi, masters of the universe, moon studios, movies, nerd, netflix, nina theory, nintendo direct, ocarina of time, resident evil, sccoby-doo, skeletor, star wars, steam machine, summer games fest, super mario galaxy movie, the acolyte, the legend of zelda, the legend of zelda ocarina of time, the odyssey, tv, ubisoft, video games, xbox, xbox game pass, xbox games showcase
Did He-Man come out a few decades too late? I liked the movie, but does it have the power? Summer Games Fest hit Friday afternoon with a bang, Xbox brought the lancer, and immediately stepped on a rake. Meanwhile Nintendo finally revealed the game everyone knew about, as the Ocarina of time returns. Plus a new 21 Jump street is coming, but why the skip to 24?

Episode 420: To be Phranque...
June 3rd, 2026 | 57 mins 56 secs
007 first light, a minecraft movie, a24, activision, amazon prime video, backrooms, call of duty, call of duty modern warfare, call of duty warzone, dcu, escape from new york, fable, gaming, geek, god of war, god of war laufey, insomniac games, io interactive, lex luthor, man of tomorrow, marcia lucas, marvel's wolverine, mcu, minecraft, modern warfare 4, movies, nerd, nvida, obesession, onimusha, playground games, playstation, rambo, rtx spark, sony, sony playstation, sony santa monica, spider-man, spider-noir, star wars, stargate, state of play, steam, steam deck, superman, taylor swift, tekken, tom holland, toy story, toy story 5, tv, valve corp, video games, warzone, xbox, xbox game studios, zack snyder
God of War Returns, and Wolverine is set for September. But so is every other game apparently. So while we all wait for GTA VI, we can now also wait even longer for Fable. Steam may have been hiding in plain sight as a villain all along, we now look to Lord Gaben for guidance. Spider-Noir is more Groucho than Cagney, but it might work in its favor. And Call of Duty is bringing us to East Asia.

Let's do Hutt Stuff while Mando is away. We've got a review of The Mandalorian and Grogu, and Nick updates his Star Wars Ranking. Plus The Steam Deck is the latest gaming device to get a price hike, but hey at least a new Witcher 3 DLC is coming out! Excelsior! Stan Lee is coming back, but i'm not so sure everyone will be happy about that, and Bungie is taking the light out of Destiny 2.

Its time to start your engines, because a new Forza Horizon is out and ready to be driven, and all in the shadow of Mt. Fuji. Plus XBOX may have to go back to exclusives, while PlayStation is ditching PC. HBO gave us our first real look at Lanterns ahead of its August release, and PlayStation is also hoping on the price increase train, as PS+ gets a hike.
