    (This episode was recorded June 29, 2026) 🎙️ Ron & Jeff Talk DC, Dark Shadows & Summer Movie ClassicsThis week, Ron and Jeff dive into the latest headlines from the worlds of sci-fi, horror, and fantasy, sharing their opinions on the biggest news stories before taking a nostalgic trip back to some of their favorite summer movies from the 1970s. 🦸 Supergirl Stumbles at the Box Office The long-awaited Supergirl movie has become one of DC's biggest box office disappointments. Ron and Jeff discuss why they believe the film underperformed, whether audiences are suffering from superhero fatigue, and what this could mean for the future of James Gunn's DC Universe. 🦇 DC Studios Announces Three New Animated Series DC Studios and Warner Bros. Animation have officially unveiled three brand-new animated series, including an adaptation of Absolute Batman. Ron and Jeff break down each announcement, discuss which series excites them the most, and share why animation continues to be one of DC's greatest strengths. 🦇 The Return of Dark Shadows One of television's most beloved gothic soap operas is making a comeback as an adult animated series. As longtime fans of the original 1960s classic, Ron and Jeff discuss what they'd like to see from the new show and explain why they hope Warner Bros. stays true to the eerie atmosphere, unforgettable characters, and gothic storytelling that made Dark Shadows a cult favorite. 🦈 Top 5 Summer Horror Movies of the 1970s Nothing says summer like classic horror! Ron and Jeff count down five unforgettable horror films from the 1970s that are perfect for hot summer nights. From killer sharks and flesh-eating fish to terrifying backroads and desert nightmares, they discuss why these movies continue to scare audiences nearly fifty years later.  Jaws (1975): The ultimate summer horror movie. Steven Spielberg’s masterpiece centers around a quiet beach resort town terrorized by a massive great white shark, proving that the greatest dangers sometimes lurk in the water. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974): This is the quintessential "sweaty" summer movie. It follows a road trip through Texas that spirals into a horrific nightmare when a group of friends crosses paths with a family of cannibalistic killers. Piranha (1978): Directed by Joe Dante, this cult-classic B-movie is a delightfully aggressive response to Jaws. It tracks thousands of genetically modified, flesh-eating piranhas accidentally released into a river right where a children's summer camp is situated. Summer of Fear (1978): Also known as Stranger in Our House and directed by Wes Craven, this made-for-television movie follows a teenager whose life is disrupted when her orphaned cousin comes to live with her family during the summer—and harbors sinister, supernatural secrets. The Hills Have Eyes (1977): Another Wes Craven classic set in the unforgiving summer sun. It follows a vacationing family stranded in the Nevada desert who must fight for survival against a clan of deformed, bloodthirsty savages living in the hills. 🧙 Top 5 Summer Fantasy Movies of the 1970s The guys also revisit five fantasy classics that helped define the genre during the 1970s. From magical chocolate factories and legendary heroes to Middle-earth adventures and imaginative animated masterpieces, they celebrate the films that sparked the imaginations of generations of fans. Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971): A pure sugar-coated joyride where good-hearted Charlie Bucket finds a golden ticket. Gene Wilder's eccentric performance sets the gold standard for magical family cinema. The Golden Voyage of Sinbad (1973): The quintessential 70s fantasy adventure featuring breathtaking stop-motion animation by the legendary Ray Harryhausen. The Lord of the Rings (1978): Directed by Ralph Bakshi, this bold attempt to bring J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic to the screen used pioneering rotoscope animation. The Hobbit (1977): The iconic Rankin/Bass musical and animated television feature captures the cozy charm of Bilbo Baggins's unexpected journey. Fantastic Planet (1973): A visually arresting French-Czech animated film set on a distant planet where oppressed humans are kept as pets by giant, blue-skinned alien rulers❓ Question of the Week What's the perfect summer movie marathon? You can only pick one sci-fi, one horror, and one fantasy movie to watch all in one day. Ron and Jeff reveal their ultimate summer movie lineup and invite you to share yours.
