ShatterCast

Over the last few months, multiple lawsuits have rocked the entertainment industry. The most disturbing involves the State of California vs. Activision Blizzard including allegations of sexual harassment and discrimination within the workplace.  A second lawsuit involves the Black Widow actress, Scarlett Johansson, suing Disney (parent company of Marvel Entertainment) for loss of personal revenue because of how the movie was released. In the Season Finale of ShatterCast, we share our honest opinions about the lawsuits and the impact they could have on the entertainment industry.  We also discuss one troubling similarity we found in both cases - the rather strong and defensive initial response from the entertainment companies.   How could they have handled those responses better?  And in our own lives, how do we handle times when we might be accused of something? Special Note: We are not legal experts and are just sharing our opinions based on reports that have gone public at the time of this recording.   And no worries, ShatterCast will return for SEASON FOUR in the near future!

Nintendo Switch announced their new model, the Switch OLED.  But with just an upgrade to a dock and the screen, has Nintendo done enough to convince consumers it is worth the increased price tag?And out of nowhere, Valve decides to enter another handheld into the market, the Steam Deck.  Who is the target audience and will it prove to be a direct competitor to the Switch?Valve has also been very open with who can use the Steam Deck.  What can we learn from this about the nature of teamwork especially when it comes to aspects of life and faith?

Why are some Sequels well received?  Why are others almost universally hated?  What are some of our favorite Sequels?  And what are some movies we wished were never made?  Movie sequels can also serve as a great metaphor for the various stages of life we encounter. People often enjoy sequels that embody the positive elements of an original film but can also move the plot forward.  Likewise, how can we learn to appreciate the stage of life we are in while still learning from our past and having hope for the future?  All of this and more and our next exciting episode![Topics: Hope, Learning from the Past, Looking forward to the Future, Trust; Scripture Verses - 1 Corinthians 13:11, Hebrews 12:2]Thanks so much for checking out our podcast!  If you like our content, please consider supporting us for free by writing a review and sharing it with your friends.  You can also support us with a donation by joining our new Patreon page here:https://www.patreon.com/ShatterTheDarknessRemember to subscribe for future episodes, and check out the original video recording on our YouTube Channel!https://youtu.be/Nj0paSU2myAPlease note: TV shows, games, movies, and other forms of media mentioned in episodes are for discussion purposes and are not necessarily recommended by the team.ShatterCast is a production of Shattered Studios, a non-profit organization that seeks to share hope and faith through the performance, creative, and media arts.ShatteredStudios.netJoin our Discord Community here:https://discord.gg/w2FS83ZMusic, Used with Permission: "Hollowed Days"Original version by Simon Zapata Varela "Imprenta Fragante" featuring Ellie Moreau          https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpAAzlwMd86_b_jXSVEzPSwNew release featuring Dustin and Ellie Moreau (aka "Modern Temple")https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjE91krd3j0Support the show

In Part 2 of our special Director's Chair series, we share what games we would love to see updated and/or remade.  Our discussion was triggered by the upcoming Mass Effect Legendary Edition remake, and we discuss other upcoming remakes as well.  We also discuss the idea that when a game is remade there is an opportunity to improve upon the previous version.  However, there is also the need to make sure the new game honors the previous version also.  At times, we have opportunities to remake areas of our life as well, especially when prompted by growth in our faith.  How can we make the most of those opportunities for the benefit of others and ourselves? All of this and more in our next exciting episode!
