The crew also looks at some trailers for upcoming video game movies and TV shows!

Button Mash becomes Bot-ton Mash as Ben, Jess, and Steve celebrate the release of the near-perfect PlayStation platformer Astro Bot and explain why the game is both a bold leap forward and a relic of an earlier era. Then they break down what the record sales success of Black Myth: Wukong and the flop of Concord (49:00) say about the industry, assess their appetites for the PS5 Pro and mid-generation console upgrades (1:09:55), and share takeaways from several trailers for upcoming video game movies and TV shows (1:15:25), before finishing with a fond farewell to the late, great James Earl Jones (1:32:00).
