Sony ran an all-timer of a State of Play last week, so we spend a bunch of time digging into a bunch of news and demos about God of War Trilogy Remake, Control Resonant, and Konami's impressive bundle of Castlevania, Silent Hill, and Metal Gear games. Also, games like God of War: Sons of Sparta, Menace, Heart of the Forest, and Avowed on PS5. Also, Vinny's questionable encounter at the Outback Steakhouse.

Marvel sits out the Super Bowl for the first time in over a decade, Star Wars leans into nostalgia with a Grogu-powered parody, and an AI-generated Tom Cruise vs. Brad Pitt fight clip sends shockwaves through Hollywood. Jim Hill and Dan Graney unpack what Disney's marketing restraint really signals for Avengers: Doomsday, how The Mandalorian & Grogu is being positioned for theaters, and why a 15-second AI video may have just changed the rules of the game. HIGHLIGHTS • Marvel breaks a 14-year tradition by skipping a Super Bowl spot for Avengers: Doomsday, signaling a long-term narrative strategy rather than a short-term hype spike. • No Super Bowl presence for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, despite mounting online speculation and leaks. • Disney pivots to nostalgia with a parody-style ad for The Mandalorian & Grogu, complete with Tauntauns and clear Clydesdale-inspired staging. • The economics of Super Bowl advertising - including the staggering production and airtime costs behind the Jurassic Park-inspired Infinity commercial. • Disney's multi-year theatrical roadmap and how Sony's Spider-Man releases help build runway toward Avengers: Secret Wars. • Daredevil: Born Again undergoes a major creative reset after six completed episodes, with Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio reportedly pushing for tonal recalibration. • Legal guardrails surrounding Sony's Spider-Man film rights continue to restrict Kingpin's potential big-screen appearances. • A hyper-realistic AI-generated Tom Cruise vs. Brad Pitt fight ignites industry-wide concern from SAG-AFTRA and studio executives. • What AI disruption could mean for blockbuster filmmaking, union protections, and the future of human performance.

This week on The Jock and Nerd Podcast, we break down the first trailer for Spider-Noir and discuss Sony's announcement that Spider-Gwen and Spider-Punk spin-off movies are officially in active development. We also react to the latest controversy surrounding a new AI video generator that's sparking major backlash across Hollywood. Then we deliver our full... The post JAN 629: Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2026) Review – Spider-Noir Trailer (02/18/26) appeared first on The Jock and Nerd Podcast.
Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesPrime Video unveiled the first trailer for Spider-Noir, starring Nicolas Cage in his first leading TV role as Ben Reilly—a name change from the Peter Parker version he voiced in Into the Spider-Verse—a down-on-his-luck 1930s New York private investigator forced to reckon with his past as the city's only superhero. The trailer also teased multiple villains and concluded with the tagline With No Power Comes No Responsibility. The eight-episode series is set to launch May 27 as a full binge release with each episode available in both black-and-white and color versions.Lucasfilm dropped the first full trailer for The Mandalorian and Grogu Tuesday morning, setting up Star Wars' return to theaters after seven years with Din Djarin and Grogu enlisted by the New Republic to combat scattered Imperial warlords. The May 22 release directed by Jon Favreau and co-written with newly promoted Lucasfilm president Dave Filoni features Pedro Pascal, Sigourney Weaver as former Rebel pilot Colonel Ward, and Jeremy Allen White voicing Rotta the Hutt, with footage showcasing Coruscant, Hoth, gladiator fights, and action sequences far bigger than the Disney+ series. Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights capitalized on Valentine's Day weekend with $83M globally ($37.5M domestic, $45.5M international), marking Warner Bros' ninth consecutive number one opening. Sony's GOAT overperformed with $35.1M domestic; the best opening for an original animated film since Pixar's Element, while Amazon MGM's Crime 101 stumbled with just $16.3M domestic against its $90M budget. The romantic drama skewed heavily female with 76% of audiences and represents record openings for both Fennell and Jacob Elordi, though the holiday boost may be short-lived as GOAT already beat it on both Sunday and Monday.Jason Momoa will star in Sony Pictures and PlayStation Productions' film adaptation of Helldivers, directed by Justin Lin, set to hit theaters on November 10, 2027. The film is based on the popular video game franchise in which an elite unit of soldiers called Helldivers battle alien creatures threatening the fictional planet of Super Earth, with Helldivers 2 having sold more than 12 million units in its first four months after its 2024 launch.Blumhouse-Atomic Monster and Behaviour Interactive have tapped David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick and Alexandre Aja to write the feature film adaptation of the horror video game Dead by Daylight. Aja will not direct the film as he is committed to directing Under Paris 2 for Netflix, so the companies are beginning the search for a director, with James Wan, Jason Blum, and Stephen Mulrooney serving as producers.James Van Der Beek, the actor best known for playing Dawson Leery on the hit teen drama Dawson's Creek, died on February 11, 2026, at age 48 after battling Stage 3 colorectal cancer. Van Der Beek was diagnosed with the disease in 2023 and made his diagnosis public in November 2024, with his family confirming he passed peacefully and met his final days with courage, faith, and grace.Apple has acquired the IP and all rights to Severance from producer Fifth Season in a deal worth just under $70 million, with Apple Studios now producing future seasons in-house while Fifth Season remains as an executive producer. The series has been renewed for Season 3 with a fourth season considered a lock, and showrunner Dan Erickson and director Ben Stiller are open to expanding the franchise with prequels, spinoffs, and foreign versions to keep fans engaged during gaps between seasons.Lionsgate and Saber Interactive have announced a AAA John Wick video game in development for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, with Keanu Reeves reprising his role providing the character's look, voice, and involvement in production alongside franchise director Chad Stahelski.

As The Simpsons hits its 800th episode, Jim Hill takes a moment to appreciate how this once-scrappy Fox upstart became an animation institution that may never actually end. From the long-lost series finale concept where Homer and Krusty were secretly the same person to the show's upcoming theatrical sequel and Disney's long-term park plans, this week's Fine Tooning looks at how Springfield keeps evolving. Plus, box office updates, Avatar sequel math, Matt Braly's next move after Sony, and a wild Steven Spielberg phone call that changed animation history. NEWS • The Simpsons celebrates its 800th episode with “Irrational Treasure,” the 14th episode of Season 37, as the series eyes renewal through Season 40 and a second theatrical film set for September 3, 2027. • Disney+ viewers can compare Season 1's “Santa's Little Helper” to the new milestone episode to see just how dramatically the show's animation quality has evolved since 1989. • Sony Pictures Animation's Goat opens strong over Presidents Day weekend, reportedly close behind Warner Bros.' Wuthering Heights, with final box office numbers still shifting. • Zootopia 2 crosses $1.83 billion worldwide, becoming the ninth highest-grossing film of all time, though its upcoming March 3 home video release may slow its push toward $2 billion. • Avatar: Fire & Ash reaches $1.46 billion globally, profitable but well below the franchise's prior installments, raising questions about costs and expectations for Avatar 4 and 5. • Matt Braly and Rebecca Sugar's previously in-development Sony feature is shelved, but Braly launches a Kickstarter on March 13 for his indie gothic horror pilot Clara and the Below. • The RiffTrax team raises nearly $1.9 million on Kickstarter for The RiffTrax Experiments, offering a hopeful blueprint for creator-driven animation crowdfunding. FEATURE • The behind-the-scenes story of how Judy Freudberg and Tony Geiss were hired by Steven Spielberg to write The Land Before Time, following his surprise discovery of Sesame Street Presents: Follow That Bird. • Spielberg's now-legendary phone call to Freudberg, initially mistaken for a prank, ultimately led to a creative partnership that bridged Sesame Street and major animated feature filmmaking.

Clark Kelly joins me on The Journey to share how music shaped his life. What started at 10 years old with an inexpensive guitar eventually led him to Nashville, where he was performing and signed with Sony. Like most meaningful paths, his hasn't been a straight line. There have been pivots, challenges, and growth along the way. But through it all, Clark has stayed committed to following what lights him up.

Sky TV is seeing the loss of HBO content as a new opportunity. Warner Bros Discovery's announced it will launch HBO max mid-year, home to original hit shows like The Pitt which originally featured on Sky's Neon service. Sky CEO Sophie Moloney says they need a broader suit of options than what they've been securing through the HBO deal. "It means that we can be investing in other content that makes sense for our business with other studios, like Sony and the BBC. So as a team, we're really excited about what the future holds."

At the top of the heap of announcements for many are a duo of God of War-related unveilings -- the long-rumored 2.5D Metroidvania game and an early-in-development ground-up remake of the original PS2 and PS3 trilogy -- with the former project stealth released at the time of its reveal. That's right: You can buy it right now! 29 other games were showcased, revealed, and otherwise shown off during the proceedings as well, like a new Castlevania called Belmont's Curse, a sequel to Kena: Bridge of Spirits called Scars of Kosmora, a AAA John Wick project, stealth title Yakoh: Shinobi Ops, the second volume of Konami's Metal Gear Collection, and much, much more. Plus, fresh looks at Saros, Resident Evil: Requiem, Marathon, Mina the Hollower, Beast of Reincarnation, Marvel Tokon, Control Resonant, Pragmata, 4LOOP, and so on. Other news rounds things out this week -- like steep layoffs at Highguard studio Wildlight and casting details for 2027' Helldivers film -- before we move onto listener inquiries. Who are some of our favorite black characters in gaming history? Why exactly doesn't Colin care about sports games anymore? Should Sony more heavily pursue Astro Bot spinoffs?

En este podcast especial hago algo diferente: un unboxing en directo de la Sony FX2, la cámara que juré que jamás compraría… y que hoy se convierte en mi herramienta principal para 2026.Sí, lo confieso: cuando salió la Sony FX2, pensé que era “una A7 IV disfrazada”. Me dejé llevar por la ola negativa. Pero decidí probarla durante casi dos meses… y ahí cambió todo.En este vídeo te cuento, sin intentar convencerte de nada, por qué esta cámara me conquistó por sensaciones, por ergonomía y por flujo de trabajo real.➡️ENLACE SONY FX2: https://fotok.es/sony-mirrorless/sony-fx2?aff=y206**COMPRA EN FOTOK desde este enlace y pon el cupón GABELLIFTK en tu carrito de la compra para llevarte un regalo.WEB FOTOK: https://fotok.es/?aff=y206___________________WEBS: https://www.rubengabelli.comhttps://fotografodecomida.esYOUTUBE: https://cutt.ly/ft3QEHF PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/RubenGabelli INSTAGRAM: @rubengabelli
You're stuck with a PS5 for two or three more years according to Bloomberg. Sony might delay the next PlayStation because of the cost of RAM, which would explain why they're pushing PS4 players to upgrade to PS5 all of a sudden.

Our guest is Christian Solorzano, founder of the Chicago Graphic Design Club and host of Underscore podcast.In this milestone 100th episode, the roles reverse as Rick Valicenti interviews Christian about his journey from discovering design through a Sony computer at age 11 to building Chicago's design community infrastructure. Christian shares the origin story of the Chicago Graphic Design Club—born from frustration when established organizations went silent during the pandemic—and how it evolved into Underscore podcast, Faculty, and recently, his studio Opal.The conversation explores Christian's philosophy of building without permission, prioritizing relationships over metrics, and trusting the process even when he doesn't know where it's going. He discusses his approach to deep research with a light touch, the creative collaborations and why he measures success by text messages from listeners rather than download numbers.Christian reflects on what the podcast has taught him—how facilitating 99 conversations has enabled him to see himself in others and given him permission to be more himself. He shares his view of creativity as humanity's breath, an act of resistance against forces that push us away from making meaning, and why Chicago's flat hierarchy and generous design community continues to inspire his work.

Plus, Bungie's Marathon gets a March 5th release date and a "Server Slam" beta coming later this month. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The government's proposing a first-ever official Thames bathing spot at Ham and Kingston — which is either progress or the start of a new kind of group chat argument. Then: the UK moves to pull AI chatbots into the Online Safety net, with child-safety rules catching up to fast-moving tech. Also, Oxford researchers find public support for health-data sharing for AI is real — but only if the safeguards are, too. After the break, MIT shows off computing that uses waste heat instead of electricity, Google warns the EU about building “tech sovereignty” walls, and in gaming, 007 First Light drops a new story trailer. We finish with Sony's new WF-1000XM6 earbuds — priced like a Zone 1 lunch, but aimed straight at your commute. For more on all of it, head to standard.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

It's been a bit since I've sort of been excited for upcoming games. The game awards reveals weren't all that spectacular this year and there's so many of them that you hardly have time to drink them in and remember them. Compare that to what we got from Sony’s recent State Of Play from this past week and it's a night and day difference of what a good show should look like. A lot of video and very little talk in between. It likely could have been shortened just a hair but with things like this you sort of have to cater to all tastes a little bit. So the boring parts for me are the exciting parts for others. Still, all around, this was a good showing. Even more so because a lot of what was shown was not exclusive to the PlayStation platform. My two biggest stand outs were the John Wick game (jury is still out on how it'll play – what we got seemed mostly NOT actual gameplay. It's not a red flag but I'll wait and see) and Star Wars Galactic Racer. Let's focus a bit on that racer, shall we? It's made by a studio that has mostly employed folks from Criterion. The old Criterion from the Burnout days. And if what we saw was anything to go by (again, did we see gameplay? Are we sure? I'm still gonna wait but I'm hopeful) there is a heavy sense of Burnout DNA in that game. I don't mind that it's adorned in Star Wars clothing, I'll take it. For me, you could have wrapped it in a Sesame Street Kart racer but if the Burnout DNA was there, I would be to – day one. Nothing to dismiss from Wreckreation – another game with Burnout devs. I haven't played it yet and it didn't sell well but it exists and I'll eventually get around to playing it. I'll take any and all comers when it comes to my Burnout. Someone's bound to get it right and I'll probably still enjoy their attempts. Then there's that Shinobi Ops game with the Tenchu vibes. You know, seeing how that game plays, I wouldn't mind an isometric stealth title in a Splinter Cell package. Ubisoft, if you're listening (you aren't). It's been…4,563 days since a new Splinter Cell game (non-animated series or guest spot in another game franchise, remake, BBC radio drama, or VR exclusive) was released. Also, there's been 1,280 job losses in the gaming industry since January 1, 2026.

Linktree: https://linktr.ee/AnalyticJoin The Normandy For Additional Bonus Audio And Visual Content For All Things Nme+! Join Here: https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0KDive into the rising wave of corridos bélicos on Notorious Mass Effect with Analytic Dreamz. This segment analyzes the fresh collaboration "Aguas" by Luis R Conriquez featuring Netón Vega and Rey Quinto, released January 29, 2026, via K Music/Sony Music Latin.Analytic Dreamz explores Netón Vega (Luis Ernesto Vega Carvajal), the young songwriter from La Paz, Baja California Sur, born around 2001–2002. Known for penning major tracks like "Rubicon" and "La People" on Peso Pluma's 2023 album Génesis, Vega has transitioned into a performing artist, blending traditional corridos structures with reggaetón rhythms in the música mexicana scene.The track pairs him with Luis R Conriquez, born 1996 in Caborca, Sonora—a leading figure in corridos bélicos. From his origins as a gas station worker building buzz via Instagram custom corridos, Conriquez signed in 2019 and built his brand through the Corridos Bélicos series, becoming a staple in regional Mexican collaborations."Aguas" delivers classic corrido bélico energy with luxury signaling, bravado, and narcocorrido motifs over a hard-hitting production. It shows strong early momentum: the official video on YouTube has amassed over 5.8 million views shortly after launch, while Spotify streams have climbed to approximately 9.5 million. The song secured a #4 debut on Billboard Hot Latin Rhythm Songs, highlighting its rapid traction in the regional Mexican ecosystem, driven by playlist placements on Spotify, YouTube Music, and Apple Music, plus heavy social sharing on TikTok and Instagram.Analytic Dreamz breaks down the key signals: explosive streaming velocity in a short window, Sony-backed distribution boosting Latin market reach, and synergy from Vega's songwriting cred combined with Conriquez's dedicated fanbase. Consumption remains concentrated in Mexico and U.S. Latin clusters, with no mainstream crossover yet—no Hot 100 entry or UK charting—but solid digital performance fuels the ongoing música mexicana surge.As a pure streaming-era release with no physicals or major syncs so far, "Aguas" exemplifies genre tailwinds and collaboration power in building niche-to-broader potential. Analytic Dreamz delivers the data-driven deep dive on this high-impact 2026 drop and its role in the evolving corridos landscape.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/exclusive-contentPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

SPIDER-GWEN & SPIDER-PUNK spin-off movies are officially moving forward at Sony Pictures, and the Spider-Verse future just got a lot bigger. On today's episode of The Kristian Harloff Show, we break down the major confirmation that Spider-Gwen and Spider-Punk solo films are in active development and what this means for Sony's expanding Spider-Man universe. We also react to new comments from director Destin Daniel Cretton about the Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer, including his surprising claim that Marvel Studios showed little interest in Wonder Man. What does that say about Marvel's shifting priorities, and how could it affect future MCU storytelling? Plus, the new Spider-Noir trailer teases an existential crisis, classic villains, and stylish web-swinging action. We analyze the tone, themes, and how this darker Spider-Man story fits into the broader Spider-Verse lineup. Finally, we discuss the latest Avengers: Doomsday update as the film's directors confirm that Steve Rogers will have a central role in the movie's story. How does Captain America factor into the next Avengers event, and what does this mean for the MCU moving forward? All that and more on The Kristian Harloff Show—your home for Marvel news, Spider-Man updates, Sony Pictures developments, and in-depth movie and TV discussion.
