  <itunes:subtitle>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. </itunes:subtitle>
