do NOT put the two of us in a room together (bc you will get a podcast that’s way too good)
Your hosts recorded an episode that is the most fun we’ve ever had and this is only a little bit of the reason

Instead of doing podcast prep: Dean is now perfecting his Wolf Blitzer impression in order to do a bit about CNN reporting on the dissolution of the Kree/Skrull alliance.

Time to focus our totality students! For this lecture, your hosts break down the wonderful Psylocke (2024). Then, they sit down for an interview with @crashwong.bsky.social to discuss their work on Kwannon, and what makes their version of it a new way forward for her.

But long & exclusive theatrical windows are what will keep theaters and theatrical exhibition alive. And long and exclusive theatrical windows are, to me, the definition of consumer and community friendly, especially for wide releases.
Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos says the streamer has no "opposition" to releasing Warner Bros. movies in theaters, but hints that "windows will evolve to be much more consumer friendly."
