No more Snyder-verse, reviews, Microsoft to buy Discord, and Google shuts down counter-intelligence- TNCS Ep 140

In this episode we discuss the latest in nerd news.  We provide our thoughts on the start of the animated series Invincible and the new movie Nobody.  Warner Media confirms that there will be no Ayer cut of the Suicide Squad and that they will not be restoring the Snyderverse.  Black Widow prepares for a Disney+ and theatrical release along with a list of other Disney movies.  In tech we cover the Google anti-hacking team shutting down governmental counter-intelligence operations and the potential Microsoft purchase of Discord.
