RyeGuys

Hey Party People -- We got it all today! We have box office updates for the weekend of 6/6-6/8 with the opening of Ballerina and the continued dominance of Lilo & Stitch! We then move on to some movie news to discuss hype around Superman & FF and the lack of hype around Ironheart. We ruminate on some Thor 5 rumors before tackling the WB split and we end it all with a self-rebuttal to my dour State of the MCUnion with some reasons for hope.

Bonjour!Today you have Jake flying solo to use you all as proxy therapists for his Peter Pan issues...I mean I am going to discuss the state of the MCU and why things are worse now than ever before. The MCU is moving into irrelevance faster than any could have imagined with well-reviewed shows and movies like Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, Daredevil Born Again and Thunderbolts all failing to make money or draw eyeballs in meaningful ways. Rumors and leaks from Spider-Man 4, Avengers Doomsday & Secret Wars, and Fantastic Four paint a very dour picture as Feige and his MCUnderlings JUST realized this week that they might have a creative quality issue and not just a production timing/quantity issue. With Andor's strong reception and good hype surrounding Gunn's upcoming Superman film, Marvel and the MCU are in danger of falling from their perch above Nerd fandom and I am beginning to doubt if Feige can do the one thing he needs to in order to get back on track -- make a good movie THAT PEOPLE ACTUALLY WANT TO SEE.Ball don't lie my friends and right now the MCU has zero game.

Hello Friends,Join Seth and I as we discuss the drama around Emilia Perez, Skeleton Crew and Lucasfilm's viewership issues, and we mourn the loss of David Lynch. RIP.

I had to talk about this again because of my morbid fascination with this feud and my own personal fandom of Ryan Reynolds. First, let me say I am not sure who is right or wrong here. I am only commenting on how they have conducted themselves since this went public leading up to the film's premiere. Today I will be discussing how Baldoni's team has been using the media to their advantage these past few weeks and the biggest news - Reynolds and Lively have requested a gag order after Baldoni's team promised to launch a website listing each accusation with their "evidence" to refute those claims. Within hours a gag order was requested by Lively's team, apparently at the behest of Ryan Reynolds who admitted this is hurting his production and creative prospects. Listen to the whole episode to my full unvarnished opinion, but for Reynolds & Lively to open this public feud with a NYT article a month ago, only to say Baldoni shouldn't be allowed to defend himself publicly - comes off as entitled, arrogant, unfair and honestly, a little ignorant to how it will be perceived by the average Joe and Jane.

Hello Friends and Neighbors, It's 2025 and boy do I have some news to share with you. First we dive deep into the DCU and all the drama surrounding Superman, Batman II, The Brave and The Bold and Supergirl. From there we pivot into the Kathleen Kennedy's personal dumpster fire of Lucasfilm to share some casting updates about upcoming projects. Third we return to my old punching bag, the MCU to discuss Spider-Man 4 rewrites and casting news for Doomsday and Secret Wars. Honestly, it's a mixed bag out of Marvel, but it would still be an improvement over what we have been getting the past 6 years. Hitting cleanup, we address more general entertainment news around the Baldoni-Lively Feud, Nolan's next film, and potential beef between Denis Villeneuve and WB. See you on the other side, Jake
