Pixar has another huge bomb on its hands, most likely. Hoppers box office is tracking VERY low -- even lower than Elio. $15-18 million. YIKES. And now they're sending out the friendly media to try and pump up the numbers. Does anybody care about Pixar anymore unless it's Toy Story, Inside Out or even Cars? Not really...Watch the podcast episodes on YouTube and all major podcast hosts including Spo...

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy is, by most accounts, an abject failure. However, they're clinging to the first two episodes getting a bit of a bump while handwaving that the show's ratings dropped off a cliff after only three episodes. Maybe people watched it and noped out because it was awful? Then we talk about how Robert Picardo thinks he can explain why 32nd century kids talk like Gen Z kids in...

Amazon is laying off 16,000 employees including about 10% of their staff from Prime Video. Maybe there wasn't enough power in the Power of the Rings?

DC Comics President Jim Lee finally admits what we've all known for years -- manga has absolutely destroyed Western comics, and it's not even close. In fact, all the kids that WOULD have latched on to Western comics are reading Manga and WEBTOON instead. Kids still like comics, they just don't like YOUR comics.

Highguard was hyped beyond belief due to its announcement at The Game Awards by Geoff Keighley, but it's turned out to be another Concord.

WIRED, like so many game and pop culture news sites before it, has gone super political and lost the plot as to why people went to the site in the first place. Really it's about grabbing those quick views. See also every video game blog in 2018.

The mainstream news media sees us over here, and they're coming for YouTube. Bari Weiss said the quiet part out (very) loud. She wants to push CBS News into YouTube and podcasting, claiming (correctly) that broadcast is dead. CBS isn't the only one, though. The BBC is going to start producing original series for YouTube as well. The Hollywood-ification has begun. Watch the podcast episodes on YouT...

Well THAT was fast. Star Trek: Starfleet Academy has already dropped off the Paramount Plus streaming charts completely after only its third episode.

The GDC Festival of Gaming is taking place in San Francisco again this year, and game devs are afraid of ICE, afraid of the filth, and afraid of the expense.

It just got worse. Microsoft had to release another emergency patch to try and mitigate the damage caused by their January update. Will this be the last one? Probably not. Even the tech blogs are questioning their quality control. In other news, they're apparently spending all of their resources on more AI chips for AI computers nobody wants. Good luck with that. Watch the podcast episodes on YouT...

As if on cue, several mainstream media outlets decided to write articles about "all the right-wingers" who are furious about He-Man's pronouns in the Masters of the Universe trailer. At the EXACT SAME TIME. But a lot of people got it was (probably) just a joke, and many more didn't care because MOTU is pretty dead with the general public. So what's going on here? Do they WANT to stir up unnecessar...

Tech workers want their CEOs to wade into politics by denouncing ICE, and have signed an open letter to their bosses telling them it's the right thing to do.

Adobe is broken. They've decided they wanted to become an AI company instead of a software company providing tools to creatives -- and they've lost over 30% of their stock value in a year.

Elizabeth Warren and dozens of other Democrats are seemingly trying to stop the sale of EA to the Saudis, citing anti-competitive practices or something. Really this is about protecting the unions and they're mad Jared Kushner is involved. Oh, and they're afraid the Saudis will take the gay away from The Sims. Probably.

As the western mainstream comic book industry continues to shrink, comics pros are turning on each other and targeting the handful of pros who are currently successful in this market.

It's an ABSOLUTE...

Windows 11 isn't very safe and secure. Unlike Google, Apple or Meta, Microsoft will just hand the keys to your BitLocker over to the FBI without much of a fight.

Wizards of the Coast (Hasbro) has been sued by shareholders for overproducing Magic: The Gathering cards, as shareholders argue they've massively devalued and diluted brand value.

A director of several recent Doctor Who episodes pretty much said the Disney era was terrible, and that just throwing more money at a show doesn't make it good. Ouch!
