Spooky Season has arrived and Disney+ is leaning into it with the long-awaited (and repeatedly retitled) WandaVision spin-off Agatha All Along. It's got a killer cast, but can it shake the Marvel curse? And speaking of Marvel: We're assembling our own coven… of shows! Join us as we each draft a team of 6 Marvel shows that we hope Kevin Feige resurrects for another season. Which one of us will assemble the Avengers of Avengers-adjacent characters? But first, in the news: Wake up, babe. New bundle dropped! And we begin the bittersweet farewell to satellite TV. ———

Hihi, this week we're going undercover with Donald Glover and Maya Erskine on their new Amazon Prime Video original Mr. & Mrs. Smith. It's inspired by the 2005 blockbuster Brangelina action rom-com, but this new darkly comedic martial thriller has more in common with FX's The Americans than the title suggests… …and speaking of FX: Peak TV prognosticator (and veteran FX chief) John Landgraf is back with his annual tally of scripted originals and an ominous prediction. With the number of new series in decline, is the era of Peak TV is truly over? (He's only predicted it twice before, so this time might be for real!) But first! Sony once again poses the question: Should you start hoarding physical media in the attic? Chris explores the wide world of Plex channels… …and Dianne plays a brand new game called Plex or Not?! ———

The holidays are here and Bob Iger is celebrating by stuffing Hulu into the Disney+ stocking (some exceptions may apply). We'll prepare you to answer your relatives' streaming questions with everything you need to know about the historic level of Disney synergy sweeping the nation: Dianne walks us through the new Hulu Hub on Disney+ Chris confesses his love for (Disney's) Doctor Who and (Disney's) Wheel of Fortune And we've got your one-stop guide to all five seasons of FX's Fargo (streaming now on Disney's Hulu Hub!) Plus, updates from every corner of the Disney universe: From ABC to Pixar to Star Wars to Marvel. Even NatGeo makes an appearance! That's right, Disney owns National Geographic, too! ———

Our long national nightmare is finally over! (Are we referring to the end of the SAG-AFTRA strike or the Loki finale? You'll have to listen to find out!) ———

It's a big week for the Marvel Cinematic Universe (but please don't make us call it that), and we're celebrating with a deep dive into Loki ahead of this Thursday's finale that seems destined to set up the next phase of Avengers mayhem (whether we like it or not). We'll be back in your feeds next week with our thoughts on the season finale, but that's not the only Marvel-ing in the news: After months of reshoots and delays The Marvels hits theaters this weekend and promises to reunite us with some of our favorite characters from the Disney+ series WandaVision and Ms. Marvel (if only we can remember those long-ago shows). We'll dive deep into the interconnected Marvel mess and discuss whether the company's new “Spotlight” branding for more standalone series will chart a new path forward. But first! We're asking the hard questions that the streaming universe refuses to answer: Just how much is a Hulu worth these days? (Disney is about to find out!) What's going on with the forbidden episode of Bluey? Who has the better strategy to jam ads in our eyes: Netflix or Amazon? Why is YouTube willing to lose over a billion dollars a year just to carry NFL Sunday ticket? And should Marvel arch-villain Kang be replaced?? (Spoiler alert: Yes!) ———

Dave and special guest Charles Pulliam Moore talk the end of Morrison’s New X-Men and the start of Joss Whedon and John Cassaday’s Astonishing X-Men! On this episode we cover the following issues (all available via Marvel Unlimited): New X-Men #151 to #154 Morrison run concludes with issue #154 Astonishing X-Men / Madrox #1 to #6 / #1 […] The post 2004 Pt. 6: New X-Men Ends & Astonishing X-Men Begins! appeared first on Comic Book Herald.

The Writers Guild of America is on strike demanding a more equitable deal for streaming rights and we're here with the entirely biased news and analysis you deserve as a true connoisseur of streaming. Coincidentally (really!) we're reviewing the $300 million Russo Brothers spy series Citadel that just premiered on Amazon Prime Video. (Spoiler alert: We think there are better ways to spend $300 million.) Plus: We'll take a look at which shows are immediately impacted by the strike. Roy Wood Jr. hosts the White House Correspondents Dinner. The Super Mario streaming story gets Super Confusing… again. And, oh yeah, the head of NBC got fired in a scandal that tangentially involves Vladimir Putin and somehow that's not the biggest story of the week. ———

Finally, a show that answers the age-old question: “What if The Mandalorian let us see Pedro Pascal's face and had a sidekick who can talk?” Yes, this week we're streaming a different -ageddon: It's the kind of armageddon that puts the “fun” in fungal… but is it any good? We're reviewing the pilot of HBO's The Last of Us in order to find out! On the way we'll discuss the latest streaming news and TV's rich history of post-apocalyptic fare (and not-so-rich history of live action video game adaptations). But first it's an emergency round of America's favorite game: Renewed or Canceled?!

Has franchise fatigue doomed the excellent Andor to streaming obscurity? Or is the hype cycle about to go to hyperspace as viewers binge the full season? We'll dissect the data then unpack our favorite moments from season 1 (don't worry, we'll warn you before we get to the spoilers!). But first! Is a Fraiser reboot still a reboot if only Frasier returns? Where do we draw the line between reboot, spin-off, and spiritual successor? And if reboots are all the rage can someone do us a favor and reboot Whose Line Is It Anyway? before the series ends this winter? Plus: The Disney Empire Strikes Back, but will the Return of the Jed-Iger bring A New Hope to the rebel alliance that ousted Emperor Bob Chapek? Will the returning Bob prove to be more of a Phantom Menace or is he the only Rogue One capable of navigating the Disney+ through the Attack of the Clones (by which we mean the ever-expanding universe of indistinguishable streaming services)?* All that and more on this week's Streamageddon! *We aren't even going to try to squeeze the sequel trilogy in there. Make of that what you will. ———

We're smashing our way through season 1 of She-Hulk: Attorney-at-Law in this spoiler-packed Rewind Review! BUT FIRST: Troy and Abed: Reunited?! Trevor Noah's last day: REVEALED! Are these the end times for Showtime? An Andor mid-season vibe check! And Netflix finally adds a tier for the most underserved streaming community of them all: The BASICS among us.* (*Seriously, we have everything you need to know about Netflix's new “Basic with Ads” option that you will undoubtedly be forced to sign up for when they crack down on that password you've been sharing with your roommate who moved out in 2016.) ———

HBO gave us some of the most iconic television shows of our time: Sex and the City. The Sopranos. Game of Thrones. But is the era of HBO coming to a close?Earlier this year, HBO's parent company, Warner Media, merged with Discovery. By next year, the new Warner Bros. Discovery will combine HBO Max with Discovery Plus into an as-yet unnamed umbrella streaming service. The merger raises questions about what's next for the HBO brand – including whether or not "HBO" will still mean "quality TV" once the dust settles. Guest host Elise Hu talks to Charles Pulliam-Moore, who covers TV and film for The Verge, about HBO's legacy, how it paved the way for prestige TV, and what changes at the company could mean for what kind of television we'll see.You can follow us on Twitter @NPRItsBeenAMin and email us at IBAM@npr.org.

We don't know our hobbits from our harfoots (really!), but that won't stop us from reviewing THE MOST EXPENSIVE TV SHOW EVER. Yes, we're journeying to middle-earth to discuss the first three episodes of Amazon's The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. It's a show that promises an epic story, sumptuous visuals, and even more rings than the movies! Does this big budget prequel deliver? How is anyone supposed to remember all these character names? And can we stop ourselves from comparing it to House of the Dragon? But before we answer those burning questions we'll ask some disturbing new ones posed by this week's news. Questions like “who resurrected the Teletubbies and why is Titus Burgess hiding behind them?” ———

We're going big and going green this week with a review of Marvel's first streaming comedy, She-Hulk: Attorney-at-Law, plus a deep dive into Hulu's pending “Peacockalypse” and a Rewind Review of the green streamer's hit comedy Only Murders in the Building. ———

We're diving deep into Disney+ this week with our review of the newest Marvel series, Ms. Marvel (which is giving us big Buffy vibes in the best possible way). PLUS we're kicking off our “Rewind Reviews” where we revisit shows we reviewed in earlier episodes. First up: The finale of Obi-Wan Kenobi (which, sadly, did not give us any Buffy vibes whatsoever). What more could you ask for? How about a slew of Disney+ news, intriguing new data on ad-supported vs. ad-free streaming, and an exciting game that will reveal the fate of 18 shows. Were they renewed or canceled? Find out on Streamageddon! ———

We're hitting the high seas this week as we cruise through the entire first season of the queer pirate rom com we didn't know we needed: Our Flag Means Death. But first: Join us as we sail into stormy weather with Netflix's salty subscriber numbers, search for the treasure buried in the latest video game adaptations, voyage to the far off land of the Amazon (dot-com), and accidentally deliver a eulogy for CNN+ before scattering the young streamer's ashes into the vast ocean of entertainment. ———

This week we're reviewing Showtime's Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber and we're so pumped we might say “super pumped” even more times than Joseph Gordon-Levitt does in the pilot. But first, in the news: We're super pumped for the Peacockalypse (coming this fall to Hulu!), but we're super NOT pumped about Disney CEO Bob Chapek's pathetic response to Florida's “Don't Say Gay” bill. And only time will tell if we'll ever be super pumped for streaming news services like CNN+ and Peacock's new “MSNBC Hub on Peacock” (in case you weren't aware that it's on Peacock). Oh, and for some reason Chris's Roku wants him to know that Judge Jeanine Pirro has a thing for American castles (of which there are… many?). ———

OBJECTION! This revival is leading the witness! ———

This week we're going back to sitcom school with Quinta Brunson's excellent new series Abbott Elementary, a family-friendly network comedy that somehow gave us permission to talk about OnlyFans and foot fetishes (thank you, Janelle James). It airs on ABC, we swear! But first we'll discuss how to stream the Winter Olympics (Peacock!), our secret desire for an all-Stephen-Root streaming service (Root Premium Plus!), and Amazon's decision to deliver a price hike for Prime (are there free returns for our feelings?). Oh, there's also a story about Rudy Giuliani and The Masked Singer in there somewhere, but we're pretty sure we hallucinated the whole thing (please, please let it be a hallucination). And at the end of the episode Dianne shares her love of Somebody Somewhere while Chris ponders his place in the ever-expanding Danny McBride-verse as he sings the praises of The Righteous Gemstones. It's a jam-packed hour of streaming from your favorite 5-star TV podcast! (We're absolutely going to milk that while it's technically true.) ————

This week, Pie and Lulu discuss the 2021 Marvel and DC Pride anthologies, which feature a variety of short comics about LGBT+ superheroes.

In 1873 a Methodist missionary in New York City heard rumors of a little girl who was kept locked in a tenement and regularly whipped. She uncovered a shocking case of neglect and abuse that made headlines around the world. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll tell how one girl's ordeal led to a new era in child welfare. We'll also outsource Harry Potter and puzzle over Wayne Gretzky's accomplishments. Intro: By a 1976 resolution, George Washington forever outranks every other officer in the U.S. Army.
