Sean is joined this week by the host of another W2M Network pod, Chapter Select's Randy Isbelle to discuss the CMA blocking the Microsoft and Activision-Blizzard Merger, the Super Mario Bros. Movie passing the $1 Billion mark globally, the disappointing issues with Star Wars Jedi Survivor, and several other topics.

The guys have also played some games with Sean diving into the newly released story DLC, Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed. He also has some impressions on the indie investigative Metroidvania The Last Case of Benedict Fox. Randy has played more Resident Evil 4 Remake, MLB The Show 23, and some of the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters too.

The duo also gives out their hype levels for various games and gaming-related media that are coming out soon such as the Twisted Metal Peacock Show, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Diablo IV, and Final Fantasy XVI to name a few.
