Phil Spencer gave perhaps too honest of an interview on an Xbox podcast where he proclaimed that releasing good video games won't change the outcome of the console so we dutifully dissect his words and actions, once more going over what is going on at Microsoft and why the company is in a dire situation concerning the future for their fans. #videogames #xbox #microsoft #starwars #redfall #aycg #allyoucangeek

Things get dark on this week's Moviecast. The writers' strike is completely shuttering production of big shows like Daredevil: Born Again, and Strangers Things Season 5.

Star Wars Jedi Survivor and Redfall both were released to large performance impact bugs and glitches, bringing us to ask if its better to want smaller games and experiences versus waiting for bug fixes and patches. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom got leaked online while the CMA has blocked Microsoft's acquisition of Activision-Blizzard-King, citing cloud gaming and its future. Midnight Suns is close to releasing on last gen systems minus the Switch version since its being cancelled, but at least the final DLC character was revealed as Storm. #starwars #redfall #microsoft #zelda #videogames #marvel #allyoucangeek

Also the Super Mario Bros Movie continues to dominate the box office. #wgastrike #dodgeball2 #supermariobrosmovie #granturismo #twistedmetal #mandalorian #tv #movies #streaming #podcast
