ON STRIKE: Despite the heat, our hosts discuss all the striking that's hitting Hollywood (and more!) quite hard right now. From the WGA to SAG-AFTRA (to UPS?!), it seems that the folks who are just trying to do their job and earn an honest living can't get an inch from the studio heads, so far.

Tyler Evans' devastating tweet that D. Bethel references in the episode. Fran Drescher's, president of SAG-AFTRA, powerful speech at a recent rally.  RELEVANT EPISODES:  "Space Man From Pluto" (30 June 2023): Where our hosts worried about how entertainment executives would find AI-created work enticing (and cheap) alternatives to hiring actual creative people.

Ferengi Chest Hair Cream

SECRET INVASION...OF A.I.: Marvel seems to have hamstrung the release of its new Disney+ series, Secret Invasion, when viewers quickly noticed the apparent artlessness of the show's opening credits and that they seemed to have used A.I. engines to create it instead of, you know, any of the artists it employs.   STIFLED PRODIGY: Paramount+ has been on a Star Trek kick for the last few years, but all might not be as rosy at it seems. Not only has it cancelled the all-ages-aimed animated series, Star Trek: Prodigy, it has also removed all the episodes from their proprietary streaming service––even though season 2 is wrapping production.   A BEAST OF A SURPRISE: D. Bethel takes a moment to discuss Transformers: Rise of the Beasts and how it pleasantly surprises in terms of actually being a good Transformers movie (who knew?). TOPICS: (00:00) Intro - June has, indeed, been busy (01:39) Secret Invasion's AI-generated opening credits. (13:45) Paramount+ cancels Star Trek: Prodigy (24:38) D. Bethel watches Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (37:16) Outro - A brief discussion of season 2 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (NO SPOILERS) (40:34) Outtakes   RELEVANT LINKS:    The post by @ATRightMovies on Twitter about the very strange producer note about Back to the Future's title.

Shortcast 76 - A Sense of Place

Empty Justice

HIGHER, FURTHER, FASTER (THAN THE TROLLS CAN FOLLOW): As with many nerdy movies lately that have been labeled as being damaging to the field, Marvel's upcoming tent-pole film, Captain Marvel (the first from Marvel Studios to have a woman in the lead role), aggregate review site Rotten Tomatoes have been targeted by these organized hate campaigns by getting "review bombed." This means people have taken the steps to make sure sites like Rotten Tomatoes––a site many people visit to see how upcoming movies are trending and reviewing––show a low anticipation or review score with the hope of scaring off potential viewers and condemning the film to low box office receipts. Star Wars: The Last Jedi was victim to this as was 2016's Ghostbusters reboot and, in possibly in a successful campaign, Solo: A Star Wars Story got hit hard. However, Captain Marvel is on track to break records with ticket presales and be a big smash at theaters. Andrew and D. Bethel investigate this continuing trend, how Rotten Tomatoes is actually, finally, doing something about this habit, and discuss how and why Captain Marvel seems to be beating the odds. AS MENTIONED:  A brief overview from Robert Kirkman's Secret History of Comics' episode about Milestone Comics.  RELEVANT EPISODES:  Shortcast 43 - "The # Age": Where D.

01 March 2019 - Empty Justice

THE LAST FIRST: Fallout 76 continues to accidentally grab headlines or, at least, grabs headlines it doesn't want. After a year of toiling in player complaints, bugs, and marketing schemes gone awry, the game seemed to have found a balance for those still enjoying the experience. Then Bethesda announced (and released) "Fallout First", a premium subscription for players that would get them a whole host of goodies. In true Fallout 76 fashion, it didn't take long for this to fall apart in big, bad ways.   Also, November 8-10, D. Bethel will be with his comic, Long John, at the Reno Pop Culture Convention! If you're in the area, it's looking to be a great show; so, be sure to stop by and say hi!   RELEVANT LINKS:    Alexandra, Heather.

Crutch Talk

NOT FAR FROM HOME: It was announced that Sony and Disney/Marvel had once again struck a deal that will keep Tom Holland's Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, much to the joy of fans and to the benefit of both companies' bank accounts. Having discussed the initial breakup back when it happened in August, Andrew and D. Bethel have a surprisingly heated discussion of this generally happy news.   THE STRANGEST HANDSHAKE: British tabletop company, Games Workshop, announced that it will be licensing one of its beloved properties––Warhammer 40,000––to American comic book giant, Marvel Comics, to make a line of comic books. This is interesting because both of Games Workshop's original Warhammer line and especially its Warhammer 40,000 line have deep lore and continuities that has our hosts wondering how well it will translate to a comic book series.

NOT FAR FROM HOME: It was announced that Sony and Disney/Marvel had once again struck a deal that will keep Tom Holland's Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, much to the joy of fans and to the benefit of both companies' bank accounts. Having <a href="http://forallintents.net/episode-20190823/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">discussed the initial breakup back when it happened in August</a>, Andrew and D. Bethel have a surprisingly heated discussion of this generally happy news. THE STRANGEST HANDSHAKE: British tabletop company, Games Workshop, announced that it will be licensing one of its beloved properties––Warhammer 40,000––to American comic book giant, Marvel Comics, to make a line of comic books. This is interesting because both of Games Workshop's original Warhammer line and especially its Warhammer 40,000 line have deep lore and continuities that has our hosts wondering how well it will translate to a comic book series.

Guestcast 03 - Muted Police Action

EXPECTING THE EXPECTED: On the day this podcast episode releases, so too does the newest cinematic installment of the main Star Wars series with Star Wars - Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker. But Andrew and D. aren't here to talk about the movie––they haven't seen it yet. Instead, they're here to talk about the talk about the movie, specifically the rather surprising amount of negative reviews coming from––not internet trolls––professional film reviewers. It leads to a multi-faceted conversation about expectations, fandom, and even the changing landscape of cinema narratives.   RELEVANT LINKS:    Dowd, A. A.
