HYDE NO MORE! FRIZ FRELENG’s DR. JEKYLL ADAPTATIONS PLUS JAMES GUNN TAKES.LEADERSHIP AT DC STUDIOS!

On this week's podcast, I'm joined by a very good friend and talented freelance writer, Tamara Brooks to pose our opinions on the Friz Freleng's adaptions of Robert Louis Stevenson's sinister work; Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde as Halloween Season winds down. And being big DC fans, we discuss the latest news regarding James Gunn and Peter Safran taking over lead roles at DC Studios for Warner Brothers! We also discuss the recent layoff at Cartoon Network as the Discovery/WB merger continues to take shape.

 

News comes our way courtesy of Deadline; that James Gunn and Peter Safran will lead the DC film and tv division going forward for their superhero properties. I think this is a strong move in the right direction to correct the current trajectory the DCEU was on and with the stellar success of Black Adam it appears there is a lot of fans that want more from their beloved superheroes over there.
