Pop in for the first proper episode of 2018, once again with your hosts Cal and Mike. This week they go over the myriad of news they missed over the holiday break such as Geoff Johns getting axed from the DCEU, no more Lobo movie, the Nintendo Switch's massive sales and possible upcoming lineup/Nintendo Direct, Pokemon Gen 8 for the Switch rumors, Death Stranding's quick pace and upcoming surprise, new God of War details and much more.

Then, After Dark, a review of Netflix's critically maligned Bright and the first two episodes of Season 4 of Black Mirror. Then Mike jumps into his impressions of divisive new Star Wars The Last Jedi. Be warned, full spoilers for Bright, Black Mirror, and Star Wars.

They wrap up the show with talk of Wolfenstein II The New Colossus and Xenoblade Chronicles 2.
