Alex Van Aken, Marcus Stewart, Charles Harte, and I have the first episode in the can where we talk about the shutdown and how it affected us, what we've been playing, and lots more.That episode isn't available quite yet, but we wanted to make sure you know where to subscribe to the show when the first episode drops on Friday, June 6.You can find some direct links below or watch a video version of the podcast on our YouTube channel.

On this week's episode, the guys kick things off with an engaging discussion centered around Marvel Studio's highly anticipated teaser for the cast announcement of the upcoming film, Avengers: Doomsday. The excitement is palpable as they delve into the implications of this teaser, speculating on the characters who might be making their grand return and how their arcs could intertwine with the larger narrative of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). This conversation naturally transitions into a broader discussion about the slate of upcoming MCU movies, where they explore potential storylines that could be adapted for both Avengers: Doomsday and the subsequent Avengers: Secret Wars. The guys ponder the rich tapestry of comic book lore available to Marvel, considering how classic arcs and lesser-known stories could be woven into the cinematic fabric of these films, thus heightening the anticipation for what lies ahead in the MCU.Joe then shares some exciting news about GameInformer, the beloved gaming magazine that recently made headlines due to its unexpected shutdown. He reveals that GameInformer is making a comeback, sparking a lively debate among the group about what this revival might look like in today's rapidly evolving digital landscape. The guys speculate on how the magazine could adapt its traditional print format to thrive in an era dominated by online content, social media, and interactive platforms. They discuss the potential for a more digital-first approach, including multimedia content, podcasts, and live streams that could engage a broader audience while maintaining the essence of what made GameInformer a staple in gaming journalism.As the conversation progresses, Cody brings up some intriguing news regarding filmmaker Josh Trank, who is reportedly working on a new project. The guys share their thoughts on Trank's previous works and how his unique vision might influence this upcoming film, especially considering the mixed reception of his past projects. This leads to a deeper exploration of the challenges and triumphs filmmakers face in the current industry landscape, as well as the critical reception that often shapes a director's career trajectory.In a surprising turn of events, Joe reveals some fascinating information about a once-cancelled Looney Tunes movie titled The Day the Earth Blew Up. The guys discuss the film's concept and the reasons behind its initial cancellation, speculating on what it could have brought to the beloved franchise. They reflect on the enduring legacy of Looney Tunes characters and how they have adapted over the years, considering whether this film could have provided a fresh take on the classic characters while appealing to both nostalgic fans and new audiences alike.To wrap things up, Cody shares some exciting insights from early screenings of James Gunn's highly anticipated Superman film, which is part of the new DC Universe (DCU). He reveals that these screenings have answered the burning question of "Who is Jor-El?" in this latest iteration of the iconic superhero's story. The guys engage in a spirited discussion about the significance of Jor-El's character and how this new portrayal could impact the overall narrative of the DCU. They reflect on the importance of strong character development in superhero films and how Jor-El's backstory could influence Superman's journey, setting the stage for a compelling and emotionally resonant film that fans are eager to see.Official Website: https://www.comesnaturallypodcast.comOfficial Merchandise: https://shop.spreadshirt.com/comes-naturally-podcast/iTunes: http://tinyurl.com/kqkgackFacebook: http://tinyurl.com/myovgm8Tumblr: http://tinyurl.com/m7a6mg9Twitter: @ComesNaturalPodYouTube: http://tiny.cc/5snxpy

Send us a textIn time where every person on the internet has access to AI on any platform or interface, the Gents take the time to reflect on the generative images people are creating through inspiration of Studio Ghibli animation (1:15). Where it is all good fun, they stress the message that founder of the studio Hayao Miyazaki warned potential artists that this will destroy the foundations of making art. In recent events, there has been an over surplus of nerd news, which is perfect timing for the Gents to deliver the nerdcore show for April. EstoBro evaluated the latest from Nintendo from their Direct showcase they had a week ago (15:40), as TV opens up questions on what will take place for their Switch 2 announcements this week. There was even additional news on how Nintendo will deliver news to their fans, even with the nonchalant announcement for targeted release date for the Super Mario Bros. movie sequel and a live action Legend of Zelda film. With multiple media outlets to deliver video game news, it is with great pleasure that the EstoBro TV Podcast announces the return of GameInformer magazine (28:05). After a brief hiatus from last year, the major video game news outlet is set to make it's return to delivering quality video game news for gamers. The Gents are more than thrilled to see what is to come from GameInformer as a whole, and the endless possibilities it has to deliver quality video game headlines. Pivoting to the latest in the MCU news, the Gents recap the insanity of the cast teasing of Avengers: Doomsday (37:05). The pair debate over past Marvel alumni that were not featured in the series of clips, but they do hold out optimism on what is to come after releases of titles that set to release this year. They also comment on the reveal of Spider-Man films with release dates set for Tom Holland to return in Spider-Man: Brand New Day and the final installment of the Spider-Verse trilogy. Transitioning from the focus on Marvel, the Gents are truly excited about season two of Marvel Rivals rolling out this month (55:30). They break down the reveals of Blade, Ultron, and Emma Frost as the potential characters that will be playable in the multiplayer hero shooter game. A hefty nerdcore episode indeed, courtesy of the EstoBro TV Podcast.

Would you play a Miles Morales-style God of War interstitial? If you said "yes," we have good news: Just such a product is apparently slated for PS5 this fall, and it's rumored to return the series to its Greek roots. But is this really the best use of Santa Monica Studio's time? Shouldn't all eyes be on what's truly next? We discuss. Then: Ubisoft has announced its long-rumored financial deal with tech conglomerate Tencent, one that will give the Chinese firm a 25% stake in a new entity encompassing Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow Six. What does this $1+ billion infusion in capital do for the ailing publisher? Is it too little, too late? Plus: Indiana Jones' PS5 release date draws very near, Until Dawn's original PS3 version leaks in full, Rocksteady's upcoming Batman game may be the first confirmed PlayStation 6 title, Bandai Namco and Sony get together on more retro PlayStation ports, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! With Naughty Dog's Intergalactic unlikely to come to market before 2027, could it end up being PlayStation 5's swan song? Will Game Informer's unexpected comeback prove a triumphant success or a predictable failure? How can Housemarque best position Saros to succeed with Returnal fans?

A mere UI leak has given birth to many conspiracies on Xbox's potential gameplan to get PlayStation games on their hardware. With the inclusion of Steam tag on the Xbox PC App, it has opened the door for many to wonder if this all inclusive platform is part of Xbox's next generation vision. Naturally, Steam on a next generation Xbox device brings with it a lot of business related questions. How does Xbox make any money at all from Steam games purchased on their hardware? Do they even care about that? Will Xbox's storefront and unified ecosystem be enough to give them an edge when their games are everywhere? The Dukes dive into this plus your many questions on the subject!

Plenty of games let you change your character's clothes, but in how many does it really matter, from a gameplay standpoint? At least five, which we'll talk about this week with model/stylist/game brand strategist and former journo Aiden Strawhun, who also knows how to talk about Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land way better than the rest of us. We'll also get into The First Berserker: Khazan, new announcements for Monster Hunter Wilds, the return of Game Informer, and the game names you've habitually mispronounced. Question of the Week: Do you dress your game characters purely for power and stats, or more for aesthetics? Break song is Cover Girl by RuPaul. Vidjagame Apocalypse theme by Matthew Joseph Payne.
