Off The Reels John and Eric

Lots of great movies are turning 40 this year, and so are we. Since we recorded this in between our birthdays, we take a look at all the movies and actors that are turning 40 or started their career in the good ol year of 1981. But first, we have to discuss LOKI. It is shaping up to be the best Marvel show. Hopefully it wont let us down.

That's one of John's Wife's favorite sayings. This week we talk about a new release, some new overdubbing technology and we mention a few things about Starwars. Also, Warner Bros. and Discovery Networks released their new merged name. Hope they didn't pay someone a lot of money to come up with what they did. Lastly, John has been re-watching one of his favorite old shows and noticed something good about it.

First Disney scooped up big IPs and Fox. Then AT&T, which has WarnerMedia and HBO, merges with Discovery Networks. NOW Amazon wants MGM. If that happens, what will Amazon get with that? Pretty soon they will all be just one company! 

This episode we talk about Disney released new Star Wars content on Disney+ for "May the 4th". Then we discuss this years delayed start to the "Summer Blockbuster" time. That leads us down some odd rabbit holes. What were we talking about?

Episode is a little late but it helped with some topics. We get to talk about the Oscars, the original Predator writers are suing for the rights back and how far will Studios take retro fitting product placement into older shows and movies. Then we get into The Falcon and Winter Soldier. WARNING...there will be spoilers!!!

This episodes starts out talking about Netflix buying Knives Out, AI possibly writing scripts in the future and some journalist trying to mess with people by saying Horror movies can not be set in space. Then John makes a statement that causes a discussion about Horror movies. We have not had a debate like this in a while. "Where'd you get that hat? A friend gave it to me. - Who punched you in the eye? Same friend."
