656: Firing Squad

<p>So Taylor Swift got married, Adam Sandler officiated (yes, really, no one knows why either), and you could buy &#39;wedding memorabilia&#39; off a New York street artist - including a used ovulation test - for $25. We live in a society.</p><p><br></p><p>Then there&#39;s the Xbox stuff, which is a lot. Like, a LOT. Thousands of jobs gone, Double Fine just... set free, id Software&#39;s programmers shown the door (great for the legendary game engine people, obviously), and Obsidian pulled off Avowed 2 to go make Fallout instead. The good news: this is what everyone wanted since New Vegas. The bad news: it&#39;s happening because Microsoft bought literally everything and then panicked.</p><p><br></p><p>Sony&#39;s having a bad fortnight too. No disc drive on PS6, and they&#39;re nuking 551 movies from people&#39;s PlayStation libraries because the licenses ran out. You know, movies people paid for. Bought. Owned. Allegedly.</p><p><br></p><p>Armie Hammer took a role in Uwe Boll&#39;s new film without reading the full script, then rang his publicist crying after he saw it. He did say he&#39;d do the sequel for &#39;life-changing money,&#39; which is a very reasonable position. Mindhunter is dead forever and Fincher hates that you keep asking. Ludwig got renewed for season 3 before season 2 is even out, which - watch Ludwig. And Supergirl bombed harder than Blue Beetle, which is impressive given that nobody remembered Blue Beetle existed.</p><p><br></p><ul><li><a href="https://variety.com/2026/film/global/armie-hammer-citizen-vigilante-worldwide-distribution-1236799025/">Armie Hammer’s ‘Citizen Vigilante’ Secures Worldwide Distribution Following Dramatic Elon Musk Intervention (EXCLUSIVE)</a></li><li><a href="https://thetab.com/filmshrine/2026/07/07/armie-hammer-in-tears-first-time-he-saw-the-hateful-citizen-vigilante-uwe-boll/">Armie Hammer was &#39;in tears&#39; the first time he saw the &#39;hateful&#39; Citizen Vigilante in full</a></li><li><a href="https://www.tmz.com/2026/07/05/travis-kelce-cried-taylor-swift-wedding-vows/">Taytay got married</a></li><li><a href="https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/celebrity/articles/taylor-swift-fans-pay-25-210245224.html">Taylor Swift fans pay $25 for garbage from outside wedding</a></li><li><a href="https://www.eurogamer.net/sony-ending-playstation-discs-physical-media-january-2028">Sony will no longer produce discs for PlayStation games starting in January 2028, citing &quot;consumer preferences&quot; as the reason w
