This news cycle we talk about the reviews of a few recent movies, and we discuss the video games coming in the future. As always, we love to hear what you think! Jump in on the conversation. Let's dive into the news. Geek News John Watches Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker John has finally watched Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. While there were some positive moments in the movie for John; however, the film essentially rewrites a good deal of lore, and the movie came out being "ok." Both John and Richard wished for more in a Star Wars movie. Birds of Prey We have another movie marketed poorly and a group of writers who couldn't live up to the source material. As it stands right now, Birds of Prey is on track to lose money for the studio. Another sad day for comic book movies. Sonic Success Where Birds of Prey failed, Sonic the Movie succeeds with audiences. There are a vast number of video game films that have failed. Sonic was heading the direction when the first trailers showed off Sonic. Sonic looked horrific and would have face planted. The studio then took that criticism and completely redid the movie. That positive move has paid off for them as it has grossed $295.6 million. Video Game News Doom Eternal, Animal Crossing, and Resident Evil 3 We have a few great games coming up soon, and we couldn't be more excited! Doom Eternal and Animal Crossing: New Horizons both come out on March 20th. The crossover memes from both communities have been funny and incredible. The beloved Resident Evil franchise has a new remake coming up on April 3rd, Resident Evil 3. Stadia vs. Nvidia What could be worse than being a sub-par video game streaming service? Being the worst of all the streaming services. Nvidia has a new streaming service in Beta that already looks better then Stadia. Can Stadia survive the streaming services from Xbox, Nvidia, and others? Let us know what you think! Showstopper CD Projekt Red is the Second Biggest Games Studio in Europe CD Projekt Red has reached an incredible milestone. The studio is now the second biggest games studio in Europe! We are happy to have one of the best studios when it comes to customer relations have this accomplishment. The market is flooded with studios and publishers who institute some of the worst practices in their games. We wish CD Projekt Red the best and hope they continue to have players first in mind in the future as well. Thank You For Listening!
