Vertigo, John Wick, and Plastic Bags?

A slow news weekend, but we pulled some highlights. We’ve got a blasphemous remake of Vertigo in the works with Robert Downey Jr. maybe set to star. Shazam loses yet again to the newly released John Wick 4. Finally, those recycled plastic bags you use in stores might not be recycled. There’s not really a good way to tell.

Tarantino Critic Flick, MetaHumans, and Swatting?

Swatting is an awful thing and while it’s nice to hear that there’s some closure for the first bit of news today, it’s still a somber revelation that the worst in gaming improves slowly, if at all. I also snuck in a link to A.O. Scott’s farewell to film criticism amidst a small opinion piece discussing recent Tarantino news. The Metahumans thing is pretty cool.

Some Good Burger, Some Bad News, and Shazam?

Hope your weekend went well. We’ve got kind of a strange and sad assortment of news today, so I’m not going to be my usual sarcastic self. We’ve got a Good Burger sequel announcement, Lance Reddick dies at 60, Jirard buys up a bunch of Nintendo games before they’re delisted, and Shazam has quite underwhelming weekend.

Playstations, Cocaine Bears, and Mike?

Good news for those who all finally got your PS5s! They’re going to make a newer, better version that you won’t be able to get until much later when they start working on the PS6. Haha. Gaming. Oh, there was a Day 1 release of a neat game if you’ve got Playstation Plus, and Cocaine Bear is now on digital for your fear, I mean enjoyment. And * checks notes * it looks like Joel is being replaced. I dunno, I thought he was a nice guy. Definitely a great addition to Binge Buddies.

What?

Not that Joel? The other Joel? From The Last of Us?

Haha.

Dumb Money, Racist SNES, and a Witcher Patch?

A slower news day yesterday, but no less strange. We’ve got a movie about GameStop being evil, a news report about counterfeit SNES Minis that are NSFW and extremely racist, and a next-gen Witcher 3 patch that begs the question, “where’s the next Cyberpunk update?”
