    Episode 11: Jupiter's Legacy, Mark Miller, and Netflix Killing IP's on Arrival

    Hello and welcome to the 11th episode of The Beirdo Speaks Podcast. In this episode I talk about Indiana Mark Miller's Jupiter's Legacy from reviewing the final product to discussing the problems with creating an epic superhero series without a clear plan.  I also cover Netflix taking ownership of many Millerworld IP's and what that means for fans of original, superhero/comic book content.

    Episode 10: Chucky TV Series and Fear Street 1994, 1978, and 1666

    Episode 10: Chucky TV Series and Fear Street 1994, 1978, and 1666

    **Correction - I said Infinite starring Mark Walberg was streamed to Peacock and meant Paramount's streaming service**

    Hello and welcome to the sixth episode of The Beirdo Speaks Nerdcast. In this episode I talk about the Chucky TV series coming out soon and I also cover Fear Street the trilogy that was released recently on Netflix.  Surprisingly good and surprisingly honoring the old slasher films of the late 80's and early 90's while updating the content for a new generation.  Is this a new trend that we can look forward too?  I hope so.

    I also cover Scarlett Johansson being in the news after she announced she would be suing Disney over breach of contract.  This seems to have opened up the flood gates and may impact how actors are paid in the future.  Is Scarlett wrong for going after her money?  Was Disney out of line for using the pandemic in an attempt to smear Scarlett's lawsuit attempt?  Time will tell.

    Episode 9: Suicide Squad...ses... *Spoiler Heavy Review** And Comic Origin Overview

    Hello and welcome to the 9th episode of The Beirdo Speaks Podcast. In this episode I talk about Suicide Squad!  And The Suicide Squad!  Cause they are two different movies whether that makes sense or not, thanks Warner Bros! After an overview of the comic book villains these movies are based on I go into my review.  Before that, though, I talk about the death of the movie theater.

    BUM BUM BUUUUUUUM!

    Episode 8: Indiana Jones 5 - Harrison Ford Injured! DC Making Moves! Amber Heard is Confirmed Mera!

    Episode 8: Indiana Jones 5 - Harrison Ford Injured! DC Making Moves! Amber Heard is Confirmed Mera!

    Hello and welcome to the eighth episode of The Beirdo Speaks Podcast. In this episode I talk about Indiana Jones 5 happening... or maybe not since Harrison Ford has already suffered an injury.  I talk about DC making moves in the DCEU and you'll be surprised to find out there isn't much by way of a plan but stuff is happening!  Shazam!  Black Adam starts his own league! Amber Heard is Mera despite being TERRIBLE in the role.  They have gone ahead and given her a spin off series.  Will she sound British?  Will she sound American?  Will anyone watch it?

    Episode 7: Video Game Movie Adaptations - From Mario Bros to Mortal Kombat(s) to Borderlands and Beyond!

    Episode 7: Video Game Movie Adaptations - From Mario Bros to Mortal Kombat(s) to Borderlands and Beyond!

    Hello and welcome to the seventh episode of The Beirdo Speaks Podcast. In this episode I talk about video game movie adaptations!  Mario Bros may have started the trend with a massively bizarre movie but turning beloved video game IP's into movies sure has come a long way.  Is this something that Hollywood should continue to explore?  With Mortal Kombat being a 'meh' at release will Borderlands be much better?  We dive deep into these questions and more in this jam pack, nostalgic episode!

    Episode 6: Black Widow Review With Comic Book Backstory Included!

    Hello and welcome to the sixth episode of The Beirdo Speaks Nerdcast. In this episode I give my full review of the Black Widow movie that FINALLY came out.  I also go over her comic book history and that of the other characters that come up in this movie.  Over all I enjoyed the movie but with them constantly pushing the movie out and a few problems I will cover in this episode I give the final result a 7.5.  Join me as we take a deep dive in the movie and the lore AND the future of Black Widow in the MCU... ahem MCM.

    Black Widow stars Scarlet Johansson, Florence Pugh, David Harbor, Rachel Weisz, and Ray Winstone.
