Catching you up with the latest in pop culture is what we do and this week's Cosmos has Gerald Glassford and a returning Himanish Goel talking about the latest installment in the Tom Clancy game universe in Rainbow Six Extraction. What's the word on the street about this co-op tactical shooter and will its unusual alien premise turn off Tom Clancy fans? Plus the guys talk about the final video game sales numbers for 2021 from the NPD and go over which games were (and were not) a surprise performer. And with the success of Korean hits such as K-Pop, Parasite, and Squid Game Himanish speculates if the next entertainment juggernaut can come from one of India's famous Bollywood productions. All this and TJ Johnson in part two of our conversation on Microsoft's pending purchase of Activision/Blizzard, Melinda Barkhouse-Ross has tabletop RPG gaming on the mind and Jamie Monroy talks about the upcoming Bob's Burgers movie. Another jam-packed episode concludes with a reminder of the release of the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves bundle (Uncharted 4/Uncharted: Lost Legacy) this week to the Playstation 5 and how this could be a great way to experience the most recent Uncharted releases.

There is much to discuss in the cosmos for pop culture this week as Melinda Barkhouse-Ross returns to talk to Gerald about the HUGE acquisition by Microsoft in its 68.7 billion dollar purchase of Activision-Blizzard. What will this mean for Activision-Blizzard and the gaming industry, will Playstation and Sony respond, what will be the benefits for XBOX Games Pass subscribers, and what hard choices will Playstation fans have to make in the future? The conversation gets tense as "Diablo Superfan" Melinda is none too pleased by the recent developments. Plus TJ Johnson weighs in on the big news as well and looks at what key elements of the deal should not be overlooked. Plus Melinda and Gerald have a couple of episode fours for The Book of Boba Fett and Peacemaker to talk about and Gerald shares some thoughts on which one came out looking better this week (SPOILERS). All this and they comment on the harsh realities of the cost of Netflix going up, Ozark's return for season four, and some initial impressions of the first Moon Knight trailer for the Marvel series coming to Disney+ on March 30.

Jamie Monroy aka Degenerate2018 on Twitch sits in again with Gerald as they discuss Scream taking the top spot at the US box office over Spider-Man: No Way Home. Does this mean that the web-crawling megahit's time in the sun is fading? Or does it have more big money to make at the theaters? Plus the guys also share thoughts on the just-ended season one of Yellowjackets on Showtime and why this popular program is similar (and different) to shows like Lost and Manifest. And they also touch on the upcoming Netflix zombie series All Of Us Are Dead possibly becoming another amazing hit from South Korea and IGN's reaction to the very real possibility of the latest XBOX-Playstation battle being closer than people think. What's the key reason why XBOX is doing so well this time around? All this and TJ Johnson shares thoughts on Spider-Man: No Way Home and answers the lingering questions on HBO Max's Peacemaker and Disney+'s The Book of Boba Fett canonical importance and if these shows will end up just being nothing more than streaming network fill-in.

This week evidence was presented by former London Fire Brigade Commissioner Dany Cotton, who previously told the Inquiry that the LFB could not have prepared for a fire like Grenfell Tower. This time, she conceded that in the years leading up to the fire, the LFB failed to take on board national guidance that warned how combustible cladding could lead to rapid fire spread, as it did at Grenfell. Evidence was also provided by another former LFB Commissioner, Ron Dobson. We heard how LFB Incident Commander training fell short of commitments they made in light of the 2009 Lakanal House fire. David Brown, former LFB Director of Operations, continued his evidence from last week covering the training of Control Room staff.
