The Teddicated SHow Podcast Episode Five Recap: Pixels & Portals: From Chicken Jockeys to Marathon Shooter: Gaming Goes Hollywood

What do undead chickens, cinematic cargo deliveries, and pre-order politics have in common? They all made headlines this week in the gaming world. On the latest episode of the show, we break down a lineup of stories that range from hilarious to head-scratching.

First up, the Minecraft movie is officially on the way, and somehow the internet has zeroed in on one thing: Chicken Jockeys. The undead-on-poultry mob has become the unlikely mascot of fan hype—and memes are flooding the timeline. Is the film going full chaos mode, or is this just the fandom running wild?

Then we’re strapping into a Bridge Baby pod and heading to Hollywood—Death Stranding is getting a film adaptation. With Kojima’s notoriously mind-bending storytelling, we ask: can a movie capture the soul (and confusion) of the original game?

Things get real-world real next as new tariffs threaten the price point of Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders. Are international politics about to wreck our wallets? We break it down.

And finally, Bungie’s bringing back a cult classic—Marathon is rising from the dead, promising PvP extraction shooter vibes. But can it stand out in today’s competitive landscape, or is this just nostalgia dressed in neon?

Whether you’re here for the memes, the movie news, or the marketplace mayhem, this episode has it all.
