Podcasts about Epic Games

Xbox may have just signaled the future of its next generation hardware. At GDC this week Microsoft confirmed Project Helix, a next-generation Xbox initiative built around a custom AMD chip and designed to support both console and PC gaming. But what exactly is Helix — a traditional console successor or something closer to a living-room gaming PC? This week on Xbox Expansion Pass, Luke Lohr (InsipidGhost) and Captain Logun break down everything currently confirmed about Project Helix and what it could mean for the future of the Xbox ecosystem. We also analyze the early player numbers behind Bungie's Marathon, including Steam concurrency and early ownership estimates, and discuss whether the launch trajectory raises questions for Sony's live-service strategy. Plus, Epic Games is changing Fortnite's V-Bucks economy, meaning players will soon receive fewer V-Bucks for the same money. Additional topics include Xbox Gaming Copilot coming to consoles, a major milestone for Silent Hill 2 Remake, and several notable announcements coming out of GDC 2026.

Epic Games increases the price of Fortnite V Bucks despite swimming in profits, paying for multiplayer access in 2026, Shane pulls another valuable gaming collectible out of his closet, and more!

Xbox's future is secure for now, but can Project Helix help? PlayStation decides to say screw everyone and adopts dynamic pricing. Meanwhile, lawsuits are brimming all over the gaming landscape. Plus, Star Wars has entered a new "Era", and Arnold is teasing legacy sequels???

This week's French Connection podcast episode covers one of the most thrilling and morally complicated films of 1971. Ryan, Mike, and Greg revisit The French Connection on Movie of the Year. William Friedkin's Best Picture winner changed what American cinema thought a hero could look like. In addition, this episode features a special Gene Hackman career retrospective.Released in 1971, the film follows New York City detective Jimmy "Popeye" Doyle — based on real NYPD detective Eddie Egan, with partner Sonny Grosso inspiring the character of Russo. Doyle pursues a massive heroin operation with little regard for the law or the people around him. As a result, the film won five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor. It remains one of the defining films of the New Hollywood era.This Movie of the Year podcast episode is one of the most anticipated of the 1971 season. Before diving in, check out our recent episodes on The Last Picture Show and A Clockwork Orange.Joining the Taste Buds for this episode is special guest C. Craig Patterson A screenwriter, director, and filmmaker based in Los Angeles. An alum of Columbia University, NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, and USC's School of Cinematic Arts, Patterson brings serious cinematic credentials to the table. His short film Fathead won the Cannes Film Festival Best Student Short Award and earned an NAACP Image Award nomination. His scripts have been recognized by the Sundance Screenwriters Lab, The Black List, and the Academy's Nicholl Fellowship. Patterson also directed the critically acclaimed Roy Wood Jr. comedy special Imperfect Messenger for Paramount+. With projects currently in development at Paramount and Epic Games, he is one of the most exciting emerging filmmakers working today — and exactly the kind of guest who makes a film like The French Connection worth revisiting.The French Connection 1971 Podcast: Popeye Doyle — Hero, Antihero, or Something Worse?The central tension of this French Connection 1971 podcast discussion is what to make of Popeye Doyle. Gene Hackman plays him as a force of nature — relentless, racist, reckless, and completely compelling. He is not a good man, and he is barely a good cop. Nevertheless, the film frames his obsession as heroic, his instincts as genius, and his victory as worth celebrating.Ryan, Mike, and Greg dig into what Friedkin and screenwriter Ernest Tidyman were doing with Doyle. Is the film a critique of the kind of law enforcement he represents? Or is it simply in love with him? The answer is probably both. Ultimately, that ambiguity is what makes the character so difficult and so fascinating fifty years later.The Real Detectives Behind the StoryThe real detectives, Eddie Egan and Sonny Grosso, consulted on the film and even appear in small roles. Consequently, knowing the story is grounded in a real investigation makes Doyle's behavior harder to dismiss. These were not fictional excesses invented for dramatic effect, and the panel takes that seriously.Gene Hackman won the Academy Award for Best Actor for this role, beating out Peter Finch, Walter Matthau, George C. Scott, and Topol. Furthermore, it remains one of the most celebrated performances of the 1970s. The panel uses this episode to look back at Hackman's broader career and make the case for where he stands in the pantheon.For more on Gene Hackman's career, visit the Internet Movie Database.William Friedkin and the New Hollywood Crime FilmDirector William Friedkin approached The French Connection as a documentary-style thriller. He shot on location in New York City with handheld cameras and natural light, refusing to glamorize either the city or its characters. As a result, the film feels unlike almost anything else from 1971 — raw, kinetic, and deeply uncomfortable.The Taste Buds explore how Friedkin's direction shaped the film's identity. Most notably, the legendary car chase under the elevated train tracks in Brooklyn is widely considered one of the greatest action sequences ever filmed. Friedkin shot it on live New York City streets without fully stopping traffic, with a camera mounted to the front of the car. For critical analysis of the chase, the Criterion Collection offers essential reading.Friedkin After The French ConnectionJust two years later, Friedkin directed The Exorcist, cementing his place as one of the defining filmmakers of the decade. The panel discusses what the two films share and what The French Connection reveals about Friedkin's sensibility. In both cases, his camera feels like it is barely keeping up with reality — and that is entirely by design.For more on Friedkin's influence on American cinema, visit the American Film Institute.The French Connection Podcast Discussion: Justice and Its LimitsAt its core, The French Connection is about the gap between justice and the law. Popeye Doyle operates outside the rules, endangers civilians, shoots an unarmed man in the back, and ultimately fails to bring the main target to justice. Despite all of this, the film presents his pursuit not as tragedy but as the cost of doing business.Ryan, Mike, and Greg examine what the film says about the American justice system in 1971 — a moment of profound national disillusionment. Vietnam, the civil rights movement, and the early signs of Watergate were all in the air. Meanwhile, the "good guys" in this film are not good, the "bad guys" are not caught, and the audience is asked to root for the pursuit anyway.Race and Policing in The French ConnectionMoreover, the film's racial politics are impossible to ignore. Doyle's racism is presented as character texture rather than moral failing, and the film never fully grapples with the implications of the policing it depicts. That discomfort is an important part of the conversation this week.For historical context on the real case, visit the DEA's history of the French Connection.Gene Hackman Best Performances: A Career RetrospectiveThis episode includes a special segment on Gene Hackman's best performances. The Taste Buds make their case for the defining Hackman roles and debate his greatest work. In particular, they discuss what made him such an unusual screen presence: his everyman quality, his capacity for rage, and his refusal to tell the audience how to feel about his characters.His breakthrough came in Bonnie and Clyde in 1967, and his Oscar followed here in The French Connection. Subsequently, classics like The Conversation, Mississippi Burning, Unforgiven, and The Royal Tenenbaums cemented one of the most extraordinary bodies of work in American cinema. This segment celebrates an actor who never got quite enough credit for how good he really was.Why The French Connection 1971 Still MattersMore than fifty years later, The French Connection remains essential viewing. Beyond its technical achievements, it functions as a moral document — capturing a specific American mood: exhausted, suspicious, and uncertain about its own institutions.Ultimately, this French Connection podcast episode revisits the film as a living argument about power, obsession, and the stories we tell about law enforcement. It asks hard questions, and this episode doesn't let them off the hook.Related Episodes from Movie of the Year: 1971If you enjoyed this episode, check out the rest of the Movie of the Year 1971 series:The Last Picture Show — Bogdanovich, nostalgia, and a dying Texas townA Clockwork Orange — Kubrick, free will, and the limits of the stateBrowse all Movie of the Year episodesFAQ: The French Connection Podcast and FilmWhat is The French Connection podcast episode about?Ryan, Mike, and Greg discuss William Friedkin's 1971 Best Picture winner.

Episode Summary: While the team is away at GDC in San Francisco, we're bringing you a deep-dive encore of one of our most provocative conversations. Greg and Colan sit down to dissect the mounting pressure from the U.S. government on Tencent to divest its massive stakes in Riot Games, Supercell, and Epic Games. We explore the reality of data privacy in the modern age, the "cultural war" of gaming IP, and whether the West is prepared to compete with the sheer output of Chinese development.In This Episode, We Discuss:The CFIUS Investigation: Why the U.S. government is increasingly wary of Tencent's influence over American gamer data.The "Privacy Myth": Colan breaks down the sobering reality of how our data is already bought, sold, and modeled in the ad-tech ecosystem.The Rise of Chinese IP: How games like Genshin Impact and Marvel Rivals are shifting the balance of global gaming power.Bungie's Marathon: Our initial impressions of the "grimy" extraction shooter and why Bungie is pivoting away from its "simplified" gameplay roots.Sony vs. Steam: Analyzing Sony's recent decision to slow down PC releases and the long-term threat of the Steam Deck and SteamOS.The Lego Takeover: A lighter look at the massive world of Lego-gaming crossovers and why your favorite IPs are being "blocked".Featured Links:Join the conversation on our Discord: playerdriven.ioFollow Colan's Newsletter: Patch Notes on Substack

Tencent is sliding back into the massive Paramount-Warner Bros merger with hundreds of millions in fresh funding, just months after they bailed over US national security concerns. We're breaking down how the Chinese giant could end up with a piece of Warner Bros, DC Comics, CNN, and the entire merged empire — while the Trump administration is literally debating whether to force Tencent to divest its stakes in Riot and Epic Games. This whole thing is wild. The Ellisons are building a media monster and Chinese money might still be part of it. Watch till the end because what this could mean for Hollywood going forward is actually insane.Watch the podcast episodes on YouTube and all major podcast hosts including Spotify.CLOWNFISH TV is an independent, opinionated news and commentary podcast that covers Entertainment and Tech from a consumer's point of view.

Imagine entrar em uma partida de Fortnite e descobrir que seu adversário pode ser um dos criminosos mais notórios da história recente. Nas últimas semanas, um boato viralizou nas redes sociais afirmando que Jeffrey Epstein estaria vivo e utilizando a conta "littlestjeff1" para jogar o battle royale da Epic Games. A teoria ganhou força após o vazamento de mais de 3,5 milhões de documentos judiciais nos Estados Unidos entre 2025 e 2026, que revelaram apelidos reais utilizados pelo financista. Neste vídeo, entenda a origem dessa desinformação. Explicamos como um jogador alterou seu nome de usuário para surfar na onda do vazamento e qual foi a resposta oficial de Tim Sweeney e da equipe da Epic Games para desmentir a conspiração. Além disso, analisamos o contexto técnico do Fortnite Tracker e o histórico real de Epstein com videogames, incluindo seu banimento da Xbox Live em 2013.

Welcome to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu! In this high-energy episode, Tom Bilyeu and co-host Drew dive headfirst into the seismic shifts happening across tech, business, politics, and culture. Kicking things off with a breakdown of Jack Dorsey's dramatic AI-driven layoffs—where half of Block's staff was cut because AI simply became too powerful—Tom Bilyeu lays out why this is a shot heard around the world. Expect a rapid-fire update on groundbreaking headlines: from AI hacking governments and overhauling finance, to AI-written sermons landing priests in hot water with the Pope. But it's not all tech talk. The conversation expands to explore how AI advances are fundamentally reshaping the job market, with real ramifications for unemployment, entrepreneurship, and even the future of society. Tom Bilyeu and Drew debate whether we're headed toward a new wave of prosperity or staring down socioeconomic upheaval. Politics are front and center too, including analysis of bold diplomacy moves, the housing crisis, and a no-holds-barred criticism of performative government antics like congressional dog shows. Plus, the hosts tackle pressing global issues such as growing Middle East tensions, media consolidation, censorship, and fresh developments in the Epstein scandal. Always candid, sometimes provocative, Tom Bilyeu brings sharp insights into the exponential speed of change and what it means for all of us. Strap in for actionable takeaways, unfiltered opinions, and a preview of the complex future we're all rushing toward—whether we're ready or not. What's up, everybody?

In partnership with RENDR Festival and supported by the National Talent Academy for VFX, we are delighted to present the first in a very special speaker series. Recorded on location at RENDR 2026 in Banana Block, Belfast, we catch up with Irish TV and feature film photographer Helen Sloan, whose expansive list of credits includes How to Train Your Dragon, Wednesday, Derry Girls, and Foundation. In this in-depth conversation, she discusses the responsibilities and artistry of the role, and shares how she ascended in her career following her first big break on Game of Thrones.https://www.filmireland.net/podcast-tv-feature-film-photographer-helen-sloan-wednesday-game-of-thronesThis series of talks was recorded in The Spinners Mill Studio, a podcast and DJ studio based in Banana Block offering tailored solutions for DJ sessions, small-scale events and podcasting from concept to final distribution. Helen SloanHelen was born in rural Ireland. Given her first camera at age 11, she quickly came into her “fly on the wall” role, capturing snapshots of life around her. At age 18 while studying Art in Belfast, she landed among a group of circus performers - where her non intrusive style of photography and technical mind lent itself well to performance photography. She travelled the world with various troupes and performers, spending a large amount of time in Iceland. A series of melancholy portraits caught the eye of a movie producer - who invited her to work on a series of horror films. Sloan landed more and more jobs on film and television sets over the next decade - and the “Game of Thrones” came to her doorstep. Helen is responsible for the photography from the hit HBO drama having been there from the first day of the pilot, until the very last day of filming. The job covered many genres of photography; landscape, portraiture, studio posters and behind the scene documentary. She is a European Nikon Ambassador and the first Irish member of The Society of Motion Picture Still Photographers.RENDR FestivalThis is a unique event celebrating creative craft and artistry in a fully immersive two-day festival exploring the space between Creativity and Technology.

We beginnen de Bright Podcast deze week met de uitnodiging die Apple ons heeft gestuurd, wat kunnen we verwachten? Verder heeft Google een nieuwe Pixel onthuld, en een nieuwe AI-muziektool. En de flatersvan Odido mogen we ook niet vergeten. Verder vandaag: een opvallende Chinese luchtballon, een real life Terminator, duurdere energie tijdens spitsuren en een langverwachte functie zit eindelijk in iOS. Tips uit deze aflevering: Game: Drop Duchy, een unieke hybride game die de mechanieken van een klassieke tegelpuzzel (zoals Tetris) combineert met strategische deckbuilding en rogue-lite elementen. Spelers bouwen hun eigen hertogdom door blokken met verschillende landschappen en gebouwen op een rooster te plaatsen om grondstoffen te verzamelen en legers te rekruteren. Voor je het weet ben je uren kwijt, nu op Xbox en Windows via Game Pass, Steam en Epic Games. Binnenkort ook voor PS5 en Switch. Luisterboeken: De luisterboeken van The Lord of the Rings voorgelezen door Andy Serkis, zijn geweldig. De acteur achter Gollum geeft ook alle andere personages een overtuigende eigen stem en sleept je de wereld van Tolkien in. Een hele fijne manier om het gigantische verhaal tot je te nemen, en je bent er lang zoet mee, want alle drie de boeken zijn ruim 20 uur lang. Hij leeft zich ook echt in: de hoofdstukken in Fangorn Forest met de Ents duren ook heel lang, omdat de Ents zo langzaam praten. Te luisteren via verschillende audioboek-diensten en onder meer te koop via de Boeken-app van Apple. Serie: Game of Thrones-spinoff Knight of the Seven Kingdoms blijft verbazen. Aflevering 5 (“In the Name of the Mother”) die maandag verscheen heeft een van de hoogste scores (98% op IMdB) van het Game of Thrones universum. Met afleveringen van een half uur en met zes afleveringen in dit eerste seizoen een laagdrempelige manier om Westeros toch weer te betreden.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Xbox's marketing beat for 2025 was "The Year Of Obsidian Entertainment." Frankly, it made sense. No matter how you feel about the quality of these games, the fact that this team shipped Avowed, Outer Worlds 2, and Grounded 2 all within a calendar year (while many other teams within the first party fold continue to stumble around) was worthy of all the praise. Well, Obsidian has some thoughts on that marketing tagline. Indeed of it being a rallying cry, Obsidian's own Josh Sawyer defined as a "sign that something went wrong." Both Avowed and Outer Worlds 2 were in development for over six years and the result is that both these games failed to meet financial expectations. What lessons can they learn after shipping so many games? What can they do to cut development costs? What games should they make to meet Xbox's new profit margins? Part of the solution to the team at Obsidian is Avowed 2, but it's anyone's guess what lies beyond that. Thanks to a transparent conversation with Obsidian, the Dukes now dig into the company with this new perspective.

You have to literally disobey an order in California to be held in contempt. But federal courts are a little more touchy-feely: they will find a contempt for violating the “spirit” of their orders. Tim and Jeff compare the Ninth Circuit's contempt finding against Apple in the Epic Games dispute, and a state litigant who got around a visitation-time order but without violating the letter of the order, so no contempt.Meanwhile, a CEQA plaintiff that won at the Court of Appeal—only to be reversed by emergency legislation and the Supreme Court—learned the hard way that "prevailing" on the law as written means nothing if the Legislature rewrites the rules mid-case.Key points:Contempt requires literal violation in California, not just bad faith. But in federal court, violating the “spirit” of an order is contempt.Legislative abrogation torpedoed $1.2M in CEQA fees: Plaintiffs in Make UC a Good Neighbor v. Regents won significant CEQA victories establishing that crowd noise and alternative locations must be analyzed—then watched the Legislature pass emergency legislation abrogating both holdings. After the Supreme Court reversed, the Court of Appeal denied nearly $1.2 million in private attorney general fees, calling the prior opinion "smoldering ruins, not citable precedent." The court held plaintiffs weren't "successful parties" because they failed to halt the project, even though they vindicated principles under the law as it existed when filed.Ninth Circuit discovery ruling survives en banc review: The court declined to rehear the Trump administration's challenge to a discovery order requiring production of federal reorganization and layoff plans, rejecting executive privilege claims without requiring plaintiffs to show bad faith. Judge Bumatay's dissent warned of a "binding dicta trap" where the panel's comments on what qualifies as deliberative could become binding precedent.California Supreme Court limits Public Records Act obligations: Superior Courts can issue declaratory relief even after documents are produced if the dispute is likely to recur, but the Public Records Act does not impose a statutory duty to preserve documents a public agency identifies as exempt.

We were inundated with new Windows features in 2025, but which ones actually moved the needle? Fortnite isn't just back on iPhone and Android, it's available on Windows 11 on Arm, and it works great! Plus, 2 big mobile wins for Epic Games and some thoughts on the "right" way to roll out AI features.Windows 11 Best Windows 11 updates of 2025, in no particular order... Dark mode improvements to File Explorer Widgets major overhaul with separate widgets and Discovery feed Xbox Full Screen experience - especially good on handhelds, of course, but also any PC you use for gaming with a controller Click to Do (Copilot+ PC only) External fingerprint reader support for Windows Hello ESS -External/USB webcams supported by Windows Studio Effects (Copilot+ PC only) Quick Machine Recovery is the tip of a wave of new foundational features like Admin Protection, Smart App Control (updates), and more that go beyond surface-level look and feel Redesigned Start menu isn't perfect but it's a nice improvement Copilot Vision, though this type of thing may make more sense on phones AI features in Paint, Photos, Notepad, and Snipping Tool Natural language interactions like the agent in Settings, file search, and more (mostly Copilot+ PC only, but you can do this in Copilot as well) Bluetooth LE support for improved audio quality in game chat, voice calls Gaming on Windows 11 on Arm and Snapdragon X: Major steps forward, but the same issue as always Looking ahead to 2026: 26H1, Agentic features that work, potential Windows 12, and AI PCs AI An extensive new interview with Mustafa Suleyman confirms why this guy is special and how confusing it is that Copilot is so disrespected Microsoft Copilot is auto-installing on LG smart TVs and there's no way to remove it GPT-5.2 is OpenAI's answer to Gemini 3 ChatGPT Images is OpenAI's answer to Nano Banana Pro Disney invests $1 billion OpenAI, sues Google Opera Neon is now generally available for $20 per month AI is moving quick as we all know but the bigger issue may be the incessant marketing about features like agents that don't even work now Microsoft is getting pushback on forced Copilot usage, price hikes Google is expanding its use of "experiments" outside of mainstream products with things like NotebookLM, Mixboard, CC, and much more. Maybe this is the better approach: Test separately and then integrate it into existing products Oddly enough, Microsoft does have a Windows AI Lab for this kind of experimentation Many small models vs. one big LLM in the cloud Mobile Fortnite is back in the Google Play Store in the U.S. as Google plays nice Apple loses its contempt appeal, the end of "junk fees" (Apple Tax) is in sight Xbox and gaming Xbox December Update has one big update for the mobile app and one big update for Xbox Wireless Headphones There's a new Xbox Developer Direct coming in January Half-Life 3 may really be happening, but it will be a Steam Machine launch title so it could be a while Tips & picks Tip of the year: De-enshittify Windows 11 App pick of the year: Fortnite RunAs Radio this week: Zero Trust in 2026 with Michele Bustamante Brown liquor pick of the week: Lark Symphony No. 1 These show notes have been truncated due to length.
