    Summer Superheroes, Honest Takes with Rick Stasi

    Send us a text Two mega-franchises landed this summer, and we brought in artist and writer Rick Stacey to pull back the cape. We start with Superman’s newest outing and ask a simple question with a thorny answer: when does reinvention enrich a legend, and when does it chip away at what makes the character feel true? From the collar and Kingdom Come-leaning emblem to David Corenswet’s earnest performance, we parse the choices that worked, the ones that nag, and why multiverse logic can both empower artists and blur brand identity. We also spar over Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor, celebrate Rachel Brosnahan’s sharp, modern Lois, and weigh the Justice Gang’s cameos—fun in theory, uneven in execution. Supergirl’s hard edge tees up Woman of Tomorrow, but not without debate. Then we pivot to Fantastic Four First Steps, where a retro-future canvas finally gives us a real Galactus and a world that winks at Kirby without drowning in homage. The cast draws mixed marks: Vanessa Kirby brings steel and soul to Sue, Johnny sparks but needs room to breathe, Ben hits the heart if not the gravel, and Reed’s screen presence never fully sells the brilliant elasticity fans crave. We talk missed visual awe—where’s the mind-bending stretch that screams “Kirby scale”?—and smart choices like skipping the origin to get straight to team chemistry. Along the way, we tackle fandom’s endless Stan vs. Jack tug-of-war, praise Daredevil’s craft as a model for grounded storytelling, and consider how DC under James Gunn and a recalibrating Marvel can rebuild credibility in a multiverse era. If you care about casting, costume storytelling, and the thin line between nostalgia and novelty, this is your deep dive. Hit play, then tell us where you landed: which film felt most like the heroes you love? Subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review to help more fans find the show.

    Fight For The First

    Send us a text Thomas talks about his upcoming surgery, Plus Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is approaching its end with a shortened fifth season, intended to lead into The Original Series. Showrunners Henry Alonso Myers and Akiva Goldsman aim for the series to conclude with Kirk's "first day on the job," focusing on the strongest elements of The Original Series rather than remaking "The Man Trap." Akiva Goldsman has pitched a spinoff concept called "Star Trek: Year One," which would explore Kirk's initial year as captain, though the immediate focus is on concluding Strange New Worlds. The series is expected to end with a significant reference or nod to an event from The Original Series, possibly the completion of the bridge crew. Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) is at the center of intensified sale speculation, with Paramount reportedly preparing a bid. Industry analysts believe a bid for WBD could trigger a bidding war, potentially involving Comcast, Amazon, and Netflix. WBD had planned to split into "Discovery Global" and "Warner Bros." in early 2026, a plan that could be disrupted by an acquisition. A Netflix acquisition of Warner Bros. is rumored, potentially leading to job losses and a negative impact on theatrical distribution due to Netflix's focus on streaming. Mark Hamill explains his return as Luke Skywalker in The Mandalorian Season 2 was to portray Luke as a Master Jedi at the "peak of his powers," a period not fully explored in the original films. Hamill praises Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni for their understanding of Star Wars. An Andor writer discusses the parallels between the show's theme of fascist takeover and real-world political pressures affecting Hollywood, citing the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel. Stan Lee will appear as an AI-powered hologram at L.A. Comic Con (September 26-28), allowing fans to interact and converse with him. The technology behind the hologram aims to ensure fidelity to Lee's known statements and spirit. Zach Cregger is directing a new adaptation of Resident Evil for Sony Pictures, with Paul Walter Hauser and Austin Abrams attached. Amazon MGM Studios is developing a live-action movie based on the '80s animatronic toy, Teddy Ruxpin, with Dwayne Johnson and Dany Garcia's Seven Bucks Productions involved. The film is described as "'Sonic the Hedgehog' meets 'Elf.'" Sean Astin has been elected as the new national president of SAG-AFTRA, succeeding Fran Drescher. Michelle Hurd is the new secretary-treasurer. Voter turnout for the SAG-AFTRA national election saw a decline compared to previous years. Astin's term will involve upcoming contract negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, particularly concerning technological advances in artificial intelligence. Christopher Nolan has been announced as the new president of the Director’s Guild of America (DGA). Polly Holliday, the Tony-nominated actress best known as Flo from Alice and for popularizing the catchphrase "Kiss my grits," passed away at 88. Holliday was the last surviving principal cast member of Alice and had a diverse career in TV, film, and theater, including roles in Gremlins and Mrs. Doubtfire.
