This week's show opens with a discussion on the trends currently reshaping the entertainment industry. Using a recent column from Variety ("From ‘Star Wars’ to ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’: How Big IP Is Driving the Streaming Wars") as a guide, MFR breaks down what the plans are for our favorite properties.
He then dives into some of the headlines that have caught his attention lately, with lots of exciting casting news to react to. From DC sequels Aquaman 2 and Shazam!: Fury of The Gods to Indiana Jones 5, several projects took major steps forward this week. He also chimes in on that wacky "Fast and Furious Could Crossover With Jurassic Park" rumor (and what part of the story actually caught his eye), and reacts to news of a "Thundercats" movie coming from Godzilla vs Kong director Adam Wingard.
He wraps up by sharing how he thinks Superman and Lois proves that TV is the best medium for Superman stories, and how the new outlook at WarnerMedia means we can get more great long-form storytelling for our favorite heroes from now on.
