This week, we do deep dives into the entire Inside Xbox presentation showing off the first ever Xbox Series X gameplay, the latest trailer for the Last of Us Part II & announcement of Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath, coming out May 26. Is there enough value to justify the $40 price point? We're getting a new G.I. Joe movie & the National Treasure franchise is becoming a TV series on Disney+! We also got a trailer for Space Force & a few Netflix original films are getting sequels. As always, we end on Sam's CGC Spotlight.

This week, Streets of Rage 4 is out & Sam finished the Final Fantasy VII Remake!! We lovingly gush about both games. The Last of Us Part II & Ghost of Tsushima got brand new release dates & we'll be getting our first look at games for the Xbox Series X on May 7! The June Nintendo Direct is reportedly cancelled & Greg is sad. Very sad. WWE is getting a fun, arcade-style game in place of the traditional 2k21. Greg shares his thoughts on Chris Hemsworth's new film, Extraction, & why Sam will love it. AMC (and even Regal) are saying they will no longer show Universal Studios' films due to their urge to release their movies in theaters & on-demand simultaneously in the future. We also review new records by Dance Gavin Dance & the Used!

We are joined on this very special bonus episode by Pat Williams, singer & guitarist of the Richmond, VA outfit House & Home. We talk about the band's debut LP, Find Sense. Feel Love. Make Light. available now on Open Your Ears Records! We learned about how the band came together & signed with Open Your Ears, along with the DIY journey that was their first record, the Full Grown EP. Pat shares some hilarious behind the scenes stories from their music video shoots & time in the recording studio. With the current state of the world making a supporting tour impossible, Pat gives us insight on the band's strategy around hyping up the new record. Please support this band; they are amazing. We didn't let Pat get away without putting him through the Rapid Fire segment, where we talk about Nintendo, mint chocolate chip ice cream, riding mechanical bulls & art school.
