Culture Popped with Hunter Bishop

This week saw the release of Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga. By all accounts it's one of the best Lego games of all time. But we haven't played it yet so we can't say. We still have to celebrate though so we're going over some franchises that we think deserve their own Lego video game. There's never been a bad Lego game and there's tons of properties that could make for a great one. How about Lego James Bond or Lego SpongeBob or Lego Barbie or Lego Borderlands or Lego Seinfeld. All have the potential to incredible video games.

It's our 100th episode! We're celebrating in style. By definitively ranking every Tom Cruise movie. That's right, we watched all of them, even the ones where he doesn't run, and we're gonna tell you which are the best and which are the worst films of Tom's career. 

This week Sony held a State of Play that was...okay. There was some cool stuff like Exoprimal, a game where you shoot hordes of dinosaurs, a TMNT game collection and GigaBash but most of it was meh. How meh? Listen and find out just how little we care about any of these games.
