#66 Brooklyn Nine-Nine & TV Cancellations
5/15/2018
Lots of big news happening in TV this week, seeing up's and down's, cancellations and renewals. While Brooklyn Nine-Nine got most of the spotlight, there was a myriad of other shows rustling about. This week, we wanted to cover the lifecycle of a television show, and some of the inner-workings you might not be aware of when it comes to how TV gets made!
Later in the show, we’ll talk about our thoughts on the new Predator trailer, an exciting new Star Wars live-action TV show is in the...

#65 Disney Domination
5/8/2018
Avengers: Infinity War broke a BAJILLION dollars in record time, ELEVEN DAYS, and that got us thinking ... Disney is kinda running the world now when it comes to entertainment, but we don’t often hear their name associated with properties you’d expect, like Marvel or Lucasfilm.
Of course, we know this, and a lot of movie fans “know” this, but is it fair to assume that the general movie-going populace does? We don’t think so ... they’re just going to the movies on a Friday night to see the...

#63 Avengers Infinity War & MCU Viewing Order
4/24/2018
Avengers: Infinity War is coming out this weekend, and as we thought more about it, we never really paid attention to [or were given any reason to care] the Infinity Stones (Gems in the comics), where they were, or why they mattered in the grand scheme of things. So what we wanted to do in this episode was give you a run down of the Official Concession Stand order of the films, as we think you should see them, and along the way track the discovery and relevance of the stones as they apply to...

#62 Rampage & The Disaster Movie Revival
4/18/2018
Rampage, the latest giant action movie with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, is based on a video game but we feel it falls into a much more important genre: The Disaster Movie. The disaster movie was a huge and surprising success in the 1970s, made a resurgence throughout the 90s and now we’re excited that they seem to be making a bit of a comeback. In this episode, we’re going to give you a bit of a history lesson of the disaster movie, list some of our favorites, and and try and figure out what...

#56 The State of the Superhero Movie
11/28/2017
As we close out 2017 with yet another pair of Superhero comic book movies, Nick & Andy reflect on the State of the Superhero movie.
Are we done with them, or are they sticking around for a while?
Do we really need origin stories anymore?
What's the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe look like beyond Infinity War?
What's the future of the DC Universe look like after Justice League?
Are we completely oversaturated with comic book content across tv, film, and animation?

#53 SPIELBERG
11/14/2017
Nick & Andy watched the new documentary on HBO by Susan Lacy, aptly titled SPIELBERG, chronicling the life and career of one of our favorite directors, Steven Spielberg.
It's hard to find someone that has influenced an industry the way that Spielberg has influenced Hollywood. Steve Jobs? Michael Jordan? Possibly. From sneaking onto the Universal lot, to his times with the "Brat Pack," to meeting Kate Capshaw on the set of Temple of Doom, to re-discovering his Orthodox heritage, we take a...

As much as we've raved about the happenings at the Box Office this year, there has also been a ton of development and growth around digital media and content, especially in the area of vehicles and mediums consumers use to watch movies.
Amazon Video coming to AppleTV, perhaps the end of Ultraviolet, and Disney made some pretty big announcements recently around a new service that could finally bring all of these disparate services together?
