It pays to have money, and this week, Brian and Mandy discuss how much money Apple threw away on a new show that will never air.
00:49 – Brian quickly recaps the highlights of the new trailer for DISENCHANTED SEASON 2. Now, Mandy needs to see it ASAP!
02:00 – News on WANDA VISION! Images released show a 50s sitcom vibe. Brian has a solid theory about how a canonical arc about Wanda’s powers might be the basis for the show’s wacky premise. We also can’t forget that this series is leading into THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS, which is set to be a horror story.
05:48 – Apple amazes us by cancelling an expensive series starring Richard Gere, already in production. Brian digs into the “creative differences” that caused the split between Apple the show runners.
13:23 – Brian finally saw the trailer for THE WORLD ACCORDING TO JEFF GOLDBLUM and it’s got him pumped! If you want more of this wonderful man, Brian strongly recommends the movie, MR FROST. Best. Devil. Ever.
16:14 – With the release of the card game CORALINE: BEWARE OF THE OTHER MOTHER, we get talking about interesting card games that Brian has seen on Kickstarter. A particularly neat one is based on a famous test that identifies psychopaths. Mandy recommends watching THE PHILOSOPHERS for more mind game shenanigans.
22:48 – SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME re-released to numbers that fell below expectations. Mandy wonders if Dragon-con contributed to the absence of geeks from the theaters.
25:52 – DARK CRYSTAL: AGE OF RESISTANCE. Mandy highly recommends watching this series. It has everything you loved in the original, but more!
30:46 – Mandy is keeping her counsel about CARNIVAL ROW until she’s watched a little more. Brian looks forward to catching up with both shows, and promises a spoiler-full review of IT: CHAPTER 2 for Patrons next week! Also, de-aged kids! Why?
