~ Loren Elliott ~ Leave a comment

We swear one day Ryan is coming back but until then we’ll have some great guests. Like this week, The Lady makes her return to the Hollywood Picture News to discuss Stranger Things Season 1 and what’s in store for Season 2. 

She and Loren also talked some news bits like:

  • Amy Pond plays board games with Rock Johnson and Kevin Hart.
  • Demi Moore and Colton Haynes Rock That Body and it’s probably not as sexy as it sounds.
  • Orson Krennic makes Galen Erso do some bad stuff. Don’t worry, those names will make sense soon.
  • CBS tests All Access with a Fall Big Brother and will go commercial free. 
  • Supergirl gets a warm welcome to the CW and tries to warm Metallo’s kryptonite heart.
  • So much talk about Barb. Riverdale, Squirelgirl, other things. 
  • Netflix doubles down on the science shows with Bill Nye and the former Mythbusters Build Team.
  • We “Discover” (get it?) new information about Star Trek.
  • Bat-fleck teases a villain for his movie that comes out in like 2 years. 
  • Gotham season three sounds exactly how you think it would. 
  • And Happy Hogan isn’t the only “Shocker” of a casting note for Spider-Man: Homecoming

All that plus a couple of tangents.

Episode #28 – We’re Cool For the Summer

~ Loren Elliott ~ Leave a comment

This week we’re talking about how this Summer Movie season was kind of a let down. We liked a couple things but over all, not the best. Also, an open letter was written to Warner Bros. executives so you know we got in on some of that.

  • Carl Drogo is Eric Draven.
  • Whatever Awkwafina is will be in Ocean’s 8.

  • Sequels to Bad Boys but maybe not Men Black, 21 Jump Street, or Ghostbusters.
  • NBC-ya later to some SNL cast members.
  • Tons of Star Trek: Discovery info, a week after we needed it.
  • Another week, another huge amount of DCCW news.
  • Can your TV handle DeNiro and Moore?
  • We bet you’ll never guess who the villain is in Aquaman.
  • Shazam will be part of the JLA, maybe.
  • Doctor Strange is a real magic man.
  • Capt. Marvel is not the Green Lantern, stop asking.
  • And we get to Tinker a bit in Spider-Man: Homecoming. 
  • All that, plus the usual tangents.
