    Issue 675: James Gunn & Peter Safran Out at DC Studios, What Now?

    This past Monday, November 9th, news broke that both James Gunn and Peter Safran, the co-heads of DC Studios, were no longer leading the studio after 4 years on the job. The duo will cede control to new president and CCO Jeremy Latcham of Latchman Pictures, and formerly of Marvel Studios. This shocking news coming after all indications pointed to the pair being considered safe following Paramount/Skydance's acquisition of Warner Bros. Well, that doesn't seem to be the case after an article from THR shared that the duo were told Friday November 6th that they would no longer be leading DC Studios.  Michael and Jong, alongside Chalice Williams of Reel Movie Junkie and Sean Tajipour of Nerdtropolis process the news, discuss what could be next for DCU, and whether fans are on their way to yet another reboot? Also, could deeper influences be at play? Plus, did the internet go off the rails with rumors and clickbait articles following the news? Yes to that last part.  The group dive into it all and Jong was hot... I mean HOTTTT at the beginning. Listen to the full issue as we try to talk Jong down and all process what is happening.  Follow Chalice on social media to find her latest interviews, reviews, videos, & more! @HeyChalice on Instagram, Threads, and TikTok.

    Issue 673: What's Up with that Bat-Guy from Gotham? James Gunn Gives An Update

    James Gunn, alongside Jennifer Holland and Steve Agee, spoke on a recent official DC podcast titled "The Suicide Squad: Is It Canon?" to discuss... well whether 2021's The Suicide Squad is canon to the DCU since the film was done before James and Peter Safran took over at DC Studios in late 2022. Not only did James share what aspects are for sure canon but he also provided updates on where the studio is at on casting Batman, the status of Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn, and more. Plus, he shared other details about the DCU's roadmap and timeline (don't mention timelines to James he gets anxious about them). So with this wealth of new info Jong and Michael dive in to break it all down.  The guys also discuss recent casting news for Ghost Rider and X-Men, as well as how story details for The Batman Part 2 might have accidentally leaked due to Heidi Klum... yes that Heidi Klum... Michael was confused too when Jong told him.    Rate, review, like, and/or subscribe to Comicast on whatever podcast app you're using; Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Castbox, Goodpods, Podcast Addicts, or whatever your podcast app of choice is!   Feedback, questions, or topic ideas for the show?
