Pop Culture Cosmos #282- Rainbow Six Meets Up With Aliens In Extraction, Uncharted Has A Legacy Of Thieves, And Will The Next Big Worldwide Hit Come From Bollywood?

Catching you up with the latest in pop culture is what we do and this week's Cosmos has Gerald Glassford and a returning Himanish Goel talking about the latest installment in the Tom Clancy game universe in Rainbow Six Extraction. What's the word on the street about this co-op tactical shooter and will its unusual alien premise turn off Tom Clancy fans? Plus the guys talk about the final video game sales numbers for 2021 from the NPD and go over which games were (and were not) a surprise performer. And with the success of Korean hits such as K-Pop, Parasite, and Squid Game Himanish speculates if the next entertainment juggernaut can come from one of India's famous Bollywood productions. All this and TJ Johnson in part two of our conversation on Microsoft's pending purchase of Activision/Blizzard, Melinda Barkhouse-Ross has tabletop RPG gaming on the mind and Jamie Monroy talks about the upcoming Bob's Burgers movie. Another jam-packed episode concludes with a reminder of the release of the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves bundle (Uncharted 4/Uncharted: Lost Legacy) this week to the Playstation 5 and how this could be a great way to experience the most recent Uncharted releases.
