Plus Clooney is heading back to the Oceans, Taylor Swift knocks out the Rock, and Disney bets big on the next magical British kid. That and more, come take a listen.

GTA VI took over the news across two weeks, and all with a delay and a new trailer. The Thunderbolts* have a new name, and I have a review. Plus Xbox pulls unexpected shenanigans, Ecco the Dolphin is returning, and Art Imitates life, well the other way around as the real Conclave begins. Plus Andor takes it to the next level, while still keeping it very Star Wars.

Yes you read that right coming soon to VHS, a movie is coming to VHS in the year 2024!!! And yes Marvel has delayed Blade one again, this time seemingly forever, and NYCC had some great announcements. In the gaming space, Ronald D Moore is taking over the God of War show, and Ubisoft disbands a team that made a successful game, who does that?? Meanwhile they continue to work on Beyond Good and Evil 2, and a new Rayman is coming.

And just like that, Thrawn is alive, and in person in Ahsoka. Would I have believed you if you told me five years ago Thrawn would appear in person, probably not, yet here we are. Also Microsoft really needs to find staff members that can upload a redacted document, that stays redacted. Because those leaks are no joke, especially when "private" emails are made public. Also It seems like the Writers may have scored a major victory against the studios. That and a hell of a lot more, come take a listen.

The Microsoft acquisition of Bethesda is complete, so what does that mean for the future? Marvels avengers is not helping its case, and is heading down the Anthem path. WandaVision had an underwhelming finale, and the Flash is setting up things to come. While the Powerpuff girls are headed to the CW. Star Trek once again teases its film future. Amazon boasts that Coming 2 America had the best streaming debut, even though the movie was very mediocre. Meanwhile Disney+ and Space Jam cause a bit of a row, and Nick takes on the culture war.

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.

Episode 119: When Infinite becomes Indefinite

Will the delay of Halo Infinite hurt the Launch of Series X? Probably, Nick has some thoughts. Apple and Epic are duking it out in a battle for the ages, who will come out on top. Star Trek is boldly going but not as soon as you might expect, while Agents of Shield goes above and beyond expectations in its finale. Tron 3 is happening but at what cost? And movie theaters are opening but is it worth it? That and a hell of a lot more.
