This week on Hollywolves, we're diving deep into the biggest stories shaking up Hollywood and beyond:

We start with the tragic and shocking news about Jonathan Joss, the beloved voice of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, who was murdered in what his husband describes as a hate crime. We'll discuss the circumstances surrounding his death, his contributions to the upcoming King of the Hill revival, and the impact this loss has on the entertainment community.

Next, we're breaking down the DDG and Halle Bailey situation and the concerning allegations of abusive behavior that have fans talking. Plus, we'll explore Megan Thee Stallion's appearance at Houston's Dream Con - the Black-owned pop culture convention that celebrates anime, gaming, and comics culture.

Our crime corner covers the disturbing news about Tory Lanez being stabbed in prison, while we also dive into Kid Cudi's testimony in the ongoing Sean Combs trial and what it reveals about the music industry's darker side.

On the entertainment front, we're reviewing Karate Kid: Legends and Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning - are these franchises still delivering or should they hang up their boots? We'll also recap the highlights and controversies from the BET Awards.

We can't ignore the Nene Leakes interview controversy where transphobic comments toward TS Madison have sparked outrage across social media. Plus, we're discussing the new Steven Universe spinoff coming to Prime and what fans can expect.

Finally, we're diving into Sabrina Carpenter's new album cover that has everyone talking - is it artistic expression or controversy for clicks?

From tragic losses to industry drama, from blockbuster reviews to social media scandals - this episode covers it all. Grab your headphones and join us as we dissect Hollywood's wildest week.

The Rushdown crew is back with another week of gaming chaos, and boy, is it a mess. GTA VI just dropped its second trailer, and the internet is already dissecting every frame—will it actually hit that 2025 release date? Meanwhile, Palworld is in legal hell as a lawsuit forces the devs to remove gliding and ball-throwing mechanics (so… is it even Palworld anymore?).

Nintendo’s latest baffling decision? Switch voice chat now requires a phone number—because nothing says "fun online gaming" like giving Big N your digits. Over at Square Enix, things are dire: they’ve announced no new games until 2027, meaning we’re stuck with Final Fantasy XIV expansions and copium for years.

In corporate villainy news:

• SAG-AFTRA is coming for Epic Games after an AI Darth Vader allegedly screwed over voice actors.
• Bungie got caught stealing art for Marathon—because nothing says "live-service revival" like a side of plagiarism.
• And of course, Randy Pitchford opens his mouth AGAIN, because why wouldn’t he?

Tune in for the drama, deep dives, and dumb takes on another wild week in gaming! 🎮🔥

This week on FGCism, we break down all the wildest moments from Combobreaker 2025—from the hype Hunter x Hunter: Nen Impact playtest to the unexpected MKXL revival stealing the show.

But it’s not all hype—SNK is in crisis mode after a brutal Vice article slams Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, leading to Kenji Matsubara stepping down as CEO.

Meanwhile, Tekken 8’s Season 2 patch misses the mark, forcing the old dev team to return for damage control.

In other news:

• Elena finally gets her Street Fighter 6 gameplay trailer—but does she still have that annoying healing?
• Mortal Kombat 1 support ends with a Definitive Edition—what’s next for NetherRealm?
• Guilty Gear Strive’s source code leaks, leading to Unika’s gameplay dropping early.
• And Nintendo nukes the Super Smash Bros. dating app ("Smash Together") before it even launches. Why? (We have theories.)

Tune in for the hottest (and messiest) FGC news of the week! 🔥🎮

The FGC has been in an uproar, and this episode of FGC-Ism pulls no punches. We break down Pakistan’s clean sweep over Korea at the latest Tekken 8 pro event — and why Arslan Ash’s victory speech stirred the pot. Meanwhile, Tekken 8 Season 2 changes sparked serious backlash from fans and pros worldwide.

We also dive into SNK’s bold move to add two actual people to the base roster of Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, speculate on Elena’s return to Street Fighter 6 (and how Nintendo might be holding her hostage), and celebrate the biggest Virtua Fighter 5 Revo online tourney yet — backed by Sega and Maximilian Dood.

Finally, we ask the question: what’s next for NetherRealm Studios? With no announcements on the horizon, the silence is loud.

It’s all that and more on this week’s FGC-Ism — where we keep it real and frame-perfect.

This week on Rushdown Radio, we take Nintendo, Ubisoft, and Sony to task in a news cycle that’s equal parts clownery and chaos. Doug Bowser finally responds to the backlash over Switch 2 pricing — but does it actually help? Ubisoft doubles down in court, insisting you don’t really own your games, and Bungie’s latest look at Marathon has folks wondering if it’s just Concord 2.0.

Meanwhile, Shuhei Yoshida throws shade at Nintendo for losing its identity… while Sony quietly hikes prices and rereleases The Last of Us (again). We also warn you about a fake Witcher 4 beta invite making the rounds, and point out the baffling fact that Breath of the Wild on Switch 2 doesn’t support cloud saves or include its paid DLC.

Oh — and Nintendo’s raising accessory prices while keeping preorders locked at MSRP. Because… why not?

This week on Hollywolves, Matt and Michael unpack the wildest headlines and pop culture curveballs. From Sheryl Lee Ralph finally getting her flowers on the Walk of Fame to the highlights of Coachella 2025, nothing is off-limits. We recap C2E2 2025, react to the Immortal Legend Batman reveal, and break down that Fantastic Four: First Steps trailer. Plus: Netflix’s weird new show Pop The Balloon, the Daredevil: Born Again finale, and Devil May Cry’s stylish Netflix debut. We also get into Rachel Zegler’s latest round of backlash, a K-Pop scandal involving a slur, and Roman Reigns outs himself as a Trump supporter. Oh, and Hailee Steinfeld might be a little too into Michael B. Jordan during the Sinners press tour… 👀
