From movies and TV to comics and video games, there is no fandom off limits to talk about. The show is broadcast on YouTube Live and later podcasted and available on iTunes, Google Play, Soundcloud, and Stitcher.
This week, the guys talk about the Oscars winners and losers, some controversy attached to those, if this was Netflix’s watershed moment, and what can be done to improve the annual dwindling ratings. They also touch on the changes at Rotten Tomatoes, their thoughts on the Rocketman trailer, Disney Plus programming, The Haunting of Hill House becoming an anthology series, and the changes happening at Nintendo. All of this and more on Issue # 109. Watch below or subscribe to the show on iTunes or Android for the post-production podcasted version.
