What has the Disney merger meant for Fox's movie plans? On this week's podcast, Brian and Mandy look at the movies that have been canceled, as well as the latest news from the streaming wars.
00:59 - We start with what streaming networks have been up to. CW has begun pulling its content from Netflix, HBO Max, and CBS All Access. Shows like BATWOMAN and NANCY DREW are all coming home and will be available on the new CW app with much anticipated spinoff KATY KEENE.
03:33 - We watched the trailer for DARK CRYSTAL: AGE OF RESISTANCE and we are in awe of the work that went into this. The only thing on our mind now is whether knowing the ending already will make the watch a better or worse experience.
05:19 - Nickolodean also kicked off two reboots on Netflix - INVADER ZIM and ROCKO'S MODERN LIFE. We're excited but we're also cautious. We haven't forgotten the fate of The Ren & Stimpy reboot.
08:36 - With the Disney merger, it now looks like many projects announced by Fox will never see the light of day. Nothing is sacred except the next AVATAR movie and Steven Speilber's WESTSIDE STORY remake.
13:30 - Ewan McGregror in talks to portray Obi Wan Kanobi in a spin off series. It could be something interesting. We discuss the possibilities.
14:13 - In Sony news, Andy Serkis is set to direct the next Venom, which we are extremely excited about. On the other hand, Neill Blomkamp has now backed out of directing the Robocop remake.
15:55 - The new CANDYMAN started filming in Chicago and is set of a release next year. Rumour is that the story deals with toxic fandom. We discuss how that fits we what we know of its themes.
17:56 - In a surprise move, Paramount just greenlit two G.I. JOE movies. They'll tell the story of Snake Eyes, though Ray Park will not be playing the character.
19:01 - The LITTLE WOMEN trailer is out, and Mandy talks about how she loves that every generation gets their own adaptation of this wonderful story. We discuss the cast and everything we liked about the trailer.
24:28 - We speak to our listeners about the exciting plans we have in the works.
