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!
