    We unwrap the visual and narrative layers of Denis Villeneuve's epic, from Zendaya's standout performance to the Atreides family saga. This week's discussion takes us from the Oscar-worthy performances in 'Dune: Part Two' to the high stakes of Paul Atreides' prophetic journey. We conclude our deep dive with an analysis that's as riveting as the sandworms themselves.  From the chilling silence of a duel to the explosive potential of atomic warfare, we dissect the elements that make 'Dune: Part Two' a masterclass in storytelling.

    A New Cinematic Benchmark with the Return to Arrakis in Dune: Part Two

    A New Cinematic Benchmark with the Return to Arrakis in Dune: Part Two

    We are back with a special episode where we provide a fully NON-SPOILER review of “Dune: Part Two” We cover the technical marvel directed by Denis Villenueve starring Timothee Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson and so many more. We talk less about the plot and more about how the movie made us feel exiting the theater. This is a totally safe review to listen to before you go see, so come join us and decide for yourselves if this is the movie for you before our full spoiler review later this week!

    We were whisked away to the sweeping dunes of Arrakis, as we share our fresh impressions of "Dune: Part Two." bringing Denis Villeneuve's brilliance into sharp focus. Through our discussion, you'll witness how the sequel enriches the storytelling canvas with robust performances and a visual grandeur that could easily crown it as 2024's cinematic masterpiece.

    We remark balance struck by Greg Fraser's cinematography, marrying technical genius with emotive depth. We dissect the film's budget and box office potential, juxtaposing its release against the backdrop of a world emerging from pandemic shadows. This chapter in the Dune series, we argue, is not just a film; it's a defining moment for the franchise and for movies in general that reshape the cinematic landscape.

    Join us as we celebrate the creative triumphs of "Dune: Part Two" and the visionaries who have propelled it onto the screen.

    108 - Exploring Leak Culture, Upcoming TV & Film Projects, and Video Game Adaptations in Entertainment

    We got absolutely bombarded with trailers this week. From “House of the Dragon,” to “The Boys,” to…Fallout? We talk about a few news bits from the week before discussing the trailers for upcoming shows and films and gauge our excitement for each.

    The issue of leak culture is currently creating a significant shift in the entertainment industry. As we highlighted in the episode, it's changing the way we consume movies and television shows. Leaked trailers, spoilers, and set photos have become a new norm, eroding the element of surprise that has always been integral to the movie-going experience. Ryan Reynolds has managed to navigate these leaks with humor and resilience, providing an interesting perspective on this phenomenon. We'll also dive into the anticipation surrounding new projects such as The Boys season 4, House of the Dragon, Fallout, and Grand Theft Auto VI. We also spent some time preparing for the second season of The Last of Us, with a focus on showrunner Craig Mazin's prowess in portraying humanity and tension, we explore what a second season might look like and pivotal character developments.

    107 - WE ARE BACK: Catching up on the News & Our Perspective on the Marvel Cinematic Universe

    In the great words of LeBron James: “It’s about damn time.” The strikes are over and we dodged a bullet when the recent writers and actors' strike concluded with a win for human creativity. We dissect this victory and the ripple effects it's had on the industry.

    No conversation about the film industry is complete without discussing the films themselves. We're taking you on a rollercoaster ride through our thoughts and feelings about the hottest releases that we missed out on - from the deeply philosophical Oppenheimer to the delightfully quirky Barbie, and onto the highly-anticipated movies waiting in the wings like The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.

    Lastly, we have to talk about the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We're pulling back the curtain on our concerns, speculations, and hopes for the future of the franchise. We're chatting about the impact of leak culture, the controversy stirred by a recent Variety article, and the potential plotlines we’re excited about. Plus, we're exploring the role of showrunners (GASP) and the effect they could have on Marvel's future projects. And if that isn't enough, we're also brainstorming casting ideas for a potential Fantastic Four film and sharing our thoughts on upcoming projects like Deadpool 3 and the (potential?) Kang Dynasty. So, buckle up and join us for a weekly deep-dive into the world of fandom!

    Beyond Reviews: Dissecting 'The Marvels' and the Marvel Cinematic Universe

    Beyond Reviews: Dissecting 'The Marvels' and the Marvel Cinematic Universe

    Get ready to challenge your preconceptions as we discuss "The Marvels."  We weigh in on the latest MCU film amidst a litany of recent MCU hiccups and the vaunted Variety article that put the internet in a state of panic. But in the face of it all, the silver lining? Impressive performances by Brie Larson, Teyonah Parris and of course, Iman Vellani and fun directing by Nia DaCosta culminate in a fun entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, despite what people WANTED to feel about it going in.

    Brace yourself for a deep-dive into character motivations, plot development, and fight sequences. We discuss the Khan family's contribution to the narrative, Carol Danvers' role as the Annihilator, and how her touching and tense reunion with Monica Rambeau left a little on the table...also, what the heck is going on with Nick Fury?

    We don't just review, we speculate. We've got theories galore on the future of the Marvel Universe. Ms. Marvel's Season 2, a potential Young Avengers movie, or Avengers 5 possibly being a mashup of Time Runs Out and Avengers vs X-Men - we're putting everything on the table. We even consider the odds of the formation of a new Avengers team in Captain America 4. So, whether you're a die-hard Marvel fan or just a casual viewer, sit back, relax and join us in exploring the endless possibilities of the Marvel Universe as we review "The Marvels"

    Analyzing 'Kingdom Come': The Dynamics of Power, Morality, and Consequences in a Superhero Universe

    The golden age superheroes have retired, and a new generation, who barely recognize the concept of consequences, now protect the world, Join us, as we embark on a journey through the pages of DC's 1996 epic: 'Kingdom Come', featuring the exquisite artwork by Alex Ross written by Mark Waid.

    We discuss the evil Superman trope, and the implications of his god-like status in 'Kingdom Come'.

We'll help you understand the depths and dimensions of the superhero narrative and leave you with a fresh appreciation for the complexity of these characters.

    105 - The 'Evil Superman' Trope: Understanding its Influence and Impact in Comics

    105 - The 'Evil Superman' Trope: Understanding its Influence and Impact in Comics

    Imagine a world where the iconic symbol of hope, Superman, turns rogue. That's exactly what we're taking a hard look at today as we explore the rising trope of the 'evil Superman' and its gripping narratives in comics. From its early 2000s origin to the popular comic series Injustice, we're deconstructing the shocking storyline where the Joker goes to the length of planting a nuclear weapon and tethering it to Lois Lane's heartbeat. This shift in Superman's character has been met with intrigue and has led to numerous copycats since its inception. Together, we uncover the compelling contrasts between Injustice 1 and Injustice 2 and their connection to the DC universe. This exploration also leads us to examine the repercussions of Superman's failure to protect his city and how this impacts the decisions of other heroes. We then compare different versions of Superman, such as Omni Man and Homelander, shedding light on how upbringing and environment play a part in their character development.  We ruminate on the broader impact and themes of comics, particularly how the 'evil Superman' trope has been used to illustrate the tragedy of a hero gone rogue.

    As we wrap up, we share some personal comic book recommendations, highlighting our favorite writers and artists, including the likes of Tom King, Donny Cates, Mark Waid, and Alex Ross. Tune in for an enlightening journey into the world of the 'evil Superman' trope. Timecodes are provided if you want to skip around to your topic of choice!

    97 - "The Flash" TV Series Recap & Discussion

    In order to understand the nature of this episode, we need you to do something. We need you to believe in the impossible. Can you do that? Good. Then you’re welcome to listen to this episode of the podcast where we bid farewell to the Arrowverse as we recap The Flash. Starring Grant Gustin and starting in 2014, this show brought the Scarlet Speedster back to TV for the first time since 1990. While it its fair share of downswings, there’s no doubt this show had some incredibly high moments and brought an incredible iteration of Barry Allen to screen. So, with season 9 in the books, we look back on the past ten years and talk about The CW’s Flash. Timecodes are provided if you want to skip around to your topic of choice!
