PS Blackout, Lanterns Review, Batman Knightfall & GTA 6 | The Level Down Podcast Ep 158

This week on The Level Down Podcast, we talked about a little bit of everything in gaming, movies, TV, comics, and pop culture. We started with #PSBlackout, the gaming protest targeting Sony over its reported plans to stop producing physical game discs for PlayStation games by early 2028. Is this the beginning of the end for physical games? Next, we reviewed the Lanterns series premiere and talked about John Stewart, the show's take on his character, the family dynamics, and some of the choices that had us asking, "What type of Black parenting is this?" We also had plenty to say about Robert Patrick, John Stewart's relationships, and the decision to make John vegan. We also discussed the wild story about GTA 6 and the U.S. Army, where soldiers at Fort Stewart were reportedly offered time off to play GTA 6 as part of a reenlistment incentive. And finally, we talked about Marvel's Wonder Man being canceled, why Marvel and Disney made the decision, and what the cancellation could mean for future Black-led projects in the MCU. Batman: Knightfall Part 1 – Knightfall Remember Columbia House and the famous "11 CDs for one penny" deal? We talked about the legendary mail-order music company shutting down after 71 years.

The superhero movie wars are heating up, and there is A LOT to talk about on this episode of The Level Down Podcast. We break down the newly announced X-Men cast, including Sadie Sink as Jean Grey, Kit Connor as Cyclops, Christopher Abbott as Professor X, Inde Navarrette as Rogue, Maya Boyd as Storm, Adam Driver as Mister Sinister, and Samara Weaving as Emma Frost. We also talk about David Jonsson taking on the role of T’Challa II and becoming the new Black Panther, as well as Ryan Gosling stepping into the MCU as Ghost Rider. Then we look at the huge legacy returns for Avengers: Doomsday, including Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom, Chris Evans as Steve Rogers, Patrick Stewart as Professor X, Ian McKellen as Magneto, James Marsden as Cyclops, Rebecca Romijn as Mystique, Alan Cumming as Nightcrawler, Kelsey Grammer as Beast, and Channing Tatum as Gambit. Marvel has also revealed its Avengers: Doomsday homework list, featuring 15 movies and TV shows that fans should watch before the movie. We break down the list and discuss which entries are essential and which ones may contain deeper connections to the upcoming multiverse story. We also discuss Spider-Man: Brand New Day and its massive box office performance, including the claim that it has become the first Spider-Man movie to reach $2 billion worldwide. We compare that performance with James Gunn's DC projects and ask a simple question: Is Marvel still dominating DC when it comes to the box office? And speaking of DC, we look at the current DC Studios movie and television slate and where the franchise could be heading next. Plus, we discuss the new Avengers: Doomsday trailer and what it could mean for the future of the MCU, the X-Men, the multiverse, and Avengers: Secret Wars. We also remember Heroes star Hayden Panettiere, who has reportedly died at the age of 36. What do you think? Is Marvel setting itself up for another huge run with the X-Men and Avengers? Can DC finally catch up? And is the MCU's new X-Men lineup the right choice? Let us know what you think and join the conversation.

Xbox Game Pass Price Drop… But There’s a Catch | Level Down Podcast Ep. 144

🎙️ THIS WEEK ON THE LEVEL DOWN PODCAST… 🎙️ Chondel and Devin grab their mics, press record… and immediately forget what they were supposed to talk about. 🤦‍♂️ Join us for another chaotic episode where we attempt to discuss tech, television, and whatever random thoughts sneak into our brains mid-sentence. Somewhere between the rambling, we actually break down the new DC Clayface trailer (yes, we stayed on topic for a whole 3 minutes — a new record). 💸 MAIN EVENT (eventually…): Xbox Game Pass Price Shake-Up After 45 minutes of side quests, snack debates, and “wait what were we saying?”, we finally get into the big news: • Game Pass Ultimate drops to $22.99/month (your wallet can breathe again) • PC Game Pass drops to $13.99/month • Prices may vary depending on where you live (because of course they do) 🎮 BUT WAIT… THERE’S MORE DRAMA: • New Call of Duty games are NOT coming to Game Pass at launch anymore 😬 • You’ll have to wait about a year (holiday season drop) like it’s a DLC for patience • Current COD titles? Still there. No need to panic uninstall. 🎁 GAME PASS PERKS = FREE STUFF ALERT We also dive into all the goodies being thrown at subscribers: • Free content for Sea of Thieves, Minecraft, PUBG, and more • Warzone packs, Albion Online rewards, and even a FREE comic (yes, really) • Some perks are Ultimate-only… because exclusivity is alive and well 🤔 Expect hot takes, cold takes, and takes that make absolutely no sense. If you like podcasts that stay laser-focused and highly professional… this ain’t that. But if you enjoy laughs, chaos, and two guys trying their best (and failing gloriously), you’re in the right place. 👇 Drop a comment: Would you wait a year for Call of Duty on Game Pass, or is that a dealbreaker? 👍 Like, 💬 Comment, and 🔔 Subscribe for weekly gaming news, reactions, and real conversations from the Level Down Podcast. 🎧 Available on all major podcast platforms.

Ghost Rider Variants | Mario Galaxy Movie | Mass Effect | State of Decay 3 | Animorphs | Ep. 141

We kick things off with a wild deep dive into Ghost Rider lore, from the prehistoric Spirit of Vengeance riding a flaming woolly mammoth to modern Riders like Robbie Reyes pulling up in a hell-charged muscle car. Then we put our own spin on it—what would we drive and use as a weapon if we became Ghost Rider? Let’s just say… Philly Rider might be the most chaotic version yet Super Mario Galaxy Movie Review We break down the sequel—what worked (animation and music), what didn’t (the messy story), and why it suffers hard from sequel-itis. Fun for kids, but did it miss the mark for longtime fans? Mass Effect TV Show Update Amazon is reportedly reworking the series to appeal to non-gamers. Is this a smart move for a wider audience, or a risky play that could water down what fans love? State of Decay 3 News We talk about the upcoming survival game, its setting years after the apocalypse, and the upcoming 2026 alpha playtests. TV Talk Quick hits including the return of Animorphs and what that could look like in today’s world. Chondel finally started the series From and has questions just like the rest of us. Jump into the comments: • What would YOUR Ghost Rider vehicle and weapon be? • Are you worried about the Mass Effect TV show changes? • Did the Mario sequel live up to expectations? 👍 Like, 💬 Comment, and 🔔 Subscribe for weekly gaming news, reactions, and real conversations from the Level Down Podcast. 🎧 Available on all major podcast platforms.
