The most popular franchises from the 1970s and 80s have been milked to exhaustion by Hollywood to the point that some properties have been rebooted multiple times, each time resulting in failure.
What--if anything--will replace them in the popular culture? Will it be Anime? Video games? Jex and I talk about it.

Cyberpunk 2077 has been out for awhile, but it's ever-improving and after playing it for 25 hours, I can see why everyone was so excited for it. And this leads into gaming as a whole and why it's become the premier entertainment medium globally, overtaking cinema. Jex and I talk about it.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is out and it doesn't look good for our favorite archaeologist. Indy 5 may go down as one of the biggest bombs in film history, looking to lose hundreds of millions of dollars!
Jex and I delve into the recent trope of ruining male GenX icons like Luke Skywalker, John Connor, Indiana Jones, Willow and more.

DC IS HOPELESS - Comcast to ACQUIRE Warner Discovery? #dc

Rumors are abound that Comcast is looking to acquire Warner Discovery after their recent merger and then combine them with NBC/Universal to create a massive media empire to potentially rival companies like Disney and Amazon in the streaming wars.
What does this mean for DC and Warner Discovery CEO David Zaslav's supposed "10-Year Plan" for their film and comics divisions?
I theorize that little to no good will come from the merger and that the truth of Zaslav's recent moves may have always been something that would disappoint fans of DC.
Lots to talk about so let’s get to it.

FAN-BAITING: Making Fans Mad for Money?!
Pre-order SUPERHEROES AFTER DARK 5: MIDNIGHT MASQUERADE!
LINK: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?campaign_id=SR3QKKXGXZD3N
Fan-baiting or "FANTAGONISM" (thanks, Aaron Sparrow) is a phenomenon within entertainment companies--specifically within the USA in this case--where the strategy is to instigate controversy within the vocal fan communities to draw out free marketing exposure.
This is something people have theorized about for years but now it seems more obvious to the general fan and customer who is reacting with increasing levels of apathy.
In this commentary video, I talk about fan-baiting and how successful--or counterintuitive--it is for businesses trying to build or maintain brands.
