    Bonus Show: Gunn Fired at DC

    In the wake of Skydance's acquisition of Warner Bros., the DC Studios team of James Gunn and Peter Safran has been shown the door, replaced by former Marvel exec Jeremy Latcham. We have some thoughts on this big move, and what it might mean for DC's still-hazy cinematic universe plans. Plus: STAR WARS returns to theaters for its 50th anniversary. Does the franchise still have Force? Listen ad-free at Patreon: https://patreon.com/MovieFilmPodcast

Cue up the 1986 film and watch along as we discuss Jeff Goldblum’s career-defining transformation from scientist Seth Brundle into the horrific Brundlefly, along with Cronenberg’s fusion of gruesome practical effects and heartbreaking romance. Listen separately or watch along as we explore why this remake remains one of cinema’s most powerful meditations on love, illness, aging, and loss. It’s the ultimate Halloween treat — but make sure nothing accidentally enters that telepod! Listen ad-free at Patreon: https://patreon.com/MovieFilmPodcast
