Podcasts about modern myth media

This week, Marvel Studios News presents a Modern Myth Media podcast reunion. Sean Gerber and Paul Hermann are joined by fellow MMM alumni Justin Bolger and Chris Clow to celebrate the life of our brother, John Bierly. We were honored to know him and want to share with you just how special of a person he was. Odds are, however, many of you already know. Listen as we share some of our favorite memories of John and then hear highlights from his tremendous body of work across the Modern Myth Media, Marvel Studios News, and Fandalorians podcasts. We love and miss you, John.

0:21 Mookie JohnsonDo you think a Legend of Zelda story could translate well to the big screen? If so, do you think Link would speak or not?4:03 Kessel RunnerWhat got you into podcasting? Any advice to someone wanting to start their own? What are some must haves for equipment/software etc?18:52 Kerry VanderbergAt the time of recording this episode, which streaming services will you be subscribing to once Disney Plus launches? Are any of your current ones getting axed when that happens?22:53 Kerry VanderbergWhere did the "Albert and Landmine" joke originate from? I know it's been a recurring joke for you and Paul for a long time now (probably going back to the Modern Myth Media days), but I don't think I ever heard where that first came up. Care to share a little history on that?24:12 Giuseppe VicarettiWhat is your opinion on Disney remaking some of Fox's hits like Home Alone being remade, and Cheaper by the Dozen etc. Personally I find myself asking why when they could just make some original titles for Disney+? So I ask you Sean, how do you react to this news?26:27 BrentacPrimeDid you ever read any of the classic DC and marvel crossovers from the 80s or 90s? If so did you have any favorite team ups?27:40 BrentacPrimeWhat comics have you been reading lately?29:00 JP FaiellaHard question. But what should I be reading now? I like earth bound conflicted characters with some ounce of plausibility in an origin.30:12 TyGuy44Same question. But cosmic, lol. I like Nova, can't figure out which guardians to start with (being an MCU fan), and love most the marvel star wars series. Any MCU-ish recommendations? Same thing with origins31:22 Giuseppe VicarettiIn reference to the interview you shared on the discord with Tom Hiddleston, do you think (based on his reaction) we could be in for a big surprise with the next Bond movie that is coming out? I cant help but think that, just based on how much of a struggle he was showing to not say anything, says it all. What could be happening in the next Bond film for him to not be able to say a single word about it?32:44 Alex KleinIs there a way you can report trash news articles about unfounded rumors or articles with no sources? If not, would that be something you'd like to see? Like a report button that sends alerts to someone and enough reports gets the place shut down?35:07 BrentacPrimeTechnically a slight spoiler question for Titans. I'm curious if you ever got around to watching season 1? If so what did you think? Overall I thought it was really enjoyable and I'm really excited to see Superboy in season 2.35:25 Woo S KimWhat is your Lightsaber colour of choice and your hilt of choice?   Mine would be Green (my favourite color.) and the Hilt would be the type that Count Dooku uses.  How about you?36:18 Woo S KimBeing a fellow lover of Cheeseburgers, what type of Cheese, do you prefer on your Burger, I prefer Swiss how about you?36:46 Woo S KimHow well do you believe you could do on the YouTube series "Hot Ones?"37:47 MayaHey Sean! Have you ever given any thought to a Marvel based musical on Broadway? I have been obsessing over the idea of having a Dora Milaje musical leveraging afrobeat music, similar to Beyoncé's Lion King: The Gift album. I feel like there is an amazing opportunity to get Marvel stories in the musical theater space. Any untold stories or characters you think would be cool to see on stage? 40:18 Michael WeaselboyHey Sean another Dark Knight question for you, in your head canon what do you think happens after The Dark Knight Rises?? Would John Blake become Batman or Nightwing??41:11 Giuseppe VicarettiHey Sean, hope you're week, inspite of all the news, was an enjoyable one for you. Do you have any opinions on the new Matrix 4 movie that Lana Wachowski is apparently working on with Keanu Reeves? Did you like the Matrix Trilogy or did you (like many others including myself) only Love the first Movie and found the Sequels to be only sub par to the first? What is your view point?43:32 Michael WeaselboyAlso Sean do you think Dwayne Johnson will appear in a Marvel or DC film first?? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

2:55 Spencer ToycenHey there, Sean! In 2012, The Avengers blew up and ignited a love I had for Marvel that had been dormant for a while. That film was the start of something new and I think everyone knew that. That same year I started listening to you and Paul on Modern Myth Media. For me, it's no coincidence these both happened on the same year. This journey, for me anyway, started with you guys and your discussions/speculation. You guys became just as routine as waiting for the after credits scene. So I ask, what's been your favorite part of the journey so far? And has it hit you yet? Because I'm stressing over Endgame. Thanks and have an amazing weekend!11:07 Hector Giovanni NavarreteHey Sean don't really have a specific question this week. Just wanted to wish you a great AE viewing experience! It has been a long journey, and I hope you enjoy it! Who, if anyone, do you hope to bump into from the MCU? Also, what feelings do you have now that you are so close to watching the end of the Infinity Saga? Lastly, to celebrate this momentous occasion have you decided on a celebratory meal before/after the movie? Lol. Thanks Sean!16:15 Tom DeMicheleHey Sean! Since this is the last Q&A before you see Avengers: Endgame, I figured it would be appropriate to ask this question. What would you say is the overall theme or message of the Marvel Cinematic Universe thus far? The individual films masterfully inspect a variety of specific themes, but if you had to boil the whole franchise down to one central idea, what would it be? As a culmination film, how do you think Endgame will embody this theme? Thanks as always for all the content throughout this journey, and have a great weekend!20:08 AlexWhat's your thoughts on the final Dark Phoenix trailer?  Does it move the needle for you  or it does it not  change your anticipation  level one way or another since as you've  said before the movie is a lame duck?  20:57 Robert KlauserWhat's up Sean? I know it's probably a forgone conclusion, but I hope you have a great time watching Endgame. Will you be able to post a non spoiler review or your thoughts on twitter or the Discord right after seeing the movie?22:14 AlexThe early tracking for Dark Phoenix isn't looking very good. According to the Box Office Pro the movie is tracking to make a opening weekend debut between 45-55 million which will mark the lowest opening weekend for the franchise ever.   In fact its even expected to open second after Secret Life Of Pets   which have a opening weekend of between  70-90 million. If this does come to pass would this be  the first main X-movie to not open at number 1 at the domestic box office?  Would Disney see that as a disappointment and regret not shelving the film?25:46 AlexSean, do you  know anyone in your circle of friends or in your family that's even remotely pumped  for Dark Phoenix?26:09 AlexWould 2019 be known as the year of endings in relation to long-running blockbuster franchises:  The Fox X-Men franchise is set to conclude its  20 year history with Dark Phoenix being the last installment in the Fox-era   and the MCU is set to conclude an era that started with 2008 with Endgame being the finale to over eleven years of storytelling and last but not least Rise Of Skywalker has been said to be the finale of sorts to over 42 years of Star Wars wrapping up the Skywalker saga.   Do you think its a bit coincidental that all these are coming out the same year? Granted in the case of Dark Phoenix it was never really made to be an ending from the start since it was written and shot before the Fox-Disney deal was  thing but I do find it a bit  funny that all these movies are coming out in the same year.27:51 Paul ShearmanHey Sean and everyone, hope everyone is doing well and is spoiler free!! I haven't really got a question this week, but I couldn't let the last Q&A pass before we see Endgame without acknowledging that we are now so close to the end of a journey that began 11 years and 21 movies ago.  Actually, it does beg a question: is your excitement for the movie more reflective of the journey we've had coming to an end, or is it just flat out excitement for this film only, now that we're a week away (at time of posting) from the ending of this era of the MCU?Thanks as always for your time, and for all patrons, I hope you enjoy the final last part of the countdown, and #dontspoiltheendgame29:40 Alex WardDo you think that in Endgame, the surviving Avengers, especially Tony, will acknowledge the fact that Dr. Strange gave Thanos the time stone? Do you think they are frustrated or even angry that he did that, or do you think they have assumed he had a good reason? 31:38 Woo S! KimI was talking about this with someone on April 18th could you see The Starjammers in a Guardians of The Galaxy film before an X-Men film, perhaps see Christopher Summers for those who don't know  Cyclops father?  Related to this do you think The Starjammers could be rivals to The Ravagers that True Believers saw in the mid credit scene of “Guardians of The Galaxy Volume 2?”  Or even whatever version of The Guardians of The Galaxy that will be post “Avengers: Endgame.”33:15 Alex WardI'm not sure if Tim Callahan is on discord but this message can apply to everyone: There's an app called "RunPee" that tells you good times to take a quick break. It can be mildly spoilery but it kinda has to be. The app is a little quirky but it works.Speaking of the movie theater experience, just for fun, what snacks are you planning on having during Endgame, and at what point in the 3-hour movie are you planning to start/stop drinking your drink?35:07 AlexDo you think Star Wars alumni Oscar Isaac and Daisy Ridley would make a good Mr. Fantastic and Invisible Woman respectively? And do you think John Boyega would make a good Thing  or do you think race-swapping  a ethinically Jewish character is not a good idea?38:06 David RosenHey Sean and Fellow Patrons, I've been sitting on an idea for a few days that occurred to me while listening to your conversation with Paul about Rocket and Nebula being in the End Game. As far as all the Earth-based heroes are concerned (especially Rocket), they don't know about Gamora dying in order for Thanos to get the soul stone. However, once they get back to earth, and Nebula tells Rocket about what happened to Gamora, I started thinking whether those two might set some conditions in exchange for their help. After all, we did hear in one of the latest TV spots about there being one last promise to fulfill. Do you think that promise could be that in exchange for Rocket and Nebula's help finding Thanos and undoing the snap, the Avengers have to also help them try to bring back Gamora, since undoing the snap itself wouldn't do that. I wonder if this could this be the impetus for them going into the quantum realm since saving Gamora would likely have to occur somewhere in the past (unless it's through the soul stone, like you've been talking about). If a bunch of crazy stuff needs to happen in order to undo the snap, I feel like some even more crazy stuff needs to happen to bring back Gamora. The more I think about this, the more I'm starting to think that bringing her back could be a major plot point in this movie. After all, if the snap is undone, then Gamora's death really would be for nothing. What are your thoughts?43:36 Alex WardSo I've been a Patreon donor since around the time the Road to Infinity War episodes were coming out, and I can't express how much I owe you, Paul, Marvel Studios News, and this whole community have contributed to rebuilding my Marvel fandom and getting me stoked beyond belief for Captain Marvel and now Endgame. And to be totally honest, last spring was also a really hard time for me personally and having all this content really help me focus on something more positive and fun (well, the snap wasn't fun, but you know what I mean). So I have to ask, what has been your favorite Patreon community moment leading up to Endgame? Maybe a question, discussion, or some type of other interaction. I think mine has just been when we started gradually referring to each other's questions each week, and how that eventually evolved, Jarvis-to-Vision style, into a full fledged Discord community. Anyway, thanks for all that you have done for us, and I hope you have an amazing time seeing the movie!49:07 David RosenConsidering some of the MCU deaths we've had so far, what would you say is the right vs. wrong way to handle a character death? In thinking about some of the more impactful character deaths we've had so far, such as Yondu and Gamora, vs a death like Quicksilver that honestly I don't think really impacted that many people, does it more or less come down to how much time we spend with a certain character before they die for it to matter, or is there more to it than that? What are some character deaths that feel were handled particularly well/not so well, either in the MCU or in the comic book movie genre in general?55:33 Kerry VanderbergHi Sean, only one week to go! Now that we have Disney+ coming out with it's content lineup, plus all the other streaming platforms. Not too long ago Samsung announced that they will not be manufacturing blu-ray players anymore. So it seems like physical media is dying perhaps sooner than later (which saddens me, because I actually like owning the physical copies of my media, even if they remain on a shelf when it actually comes to me sitting down to watch anything). Even though I'm fine with the “streaming age” we are entering into, and I enjoy the accessibility of everything, I also know I love my physical blu-ray collection, and I love going to the theatre. So I have two major questions for you: 1) What are your feelings on the “death” of physical media? 2) What do you think is likely to happen with the theatre going experience in the coming years, and does that make you excited, sad, or indifferent?1:08:09 Kerry VanderbergWhile I liked both Deadpool movies and Shazam, I think I've discovered why I don't love those movies as much as so many others do. Compared to the MCU, Fox's X-Men films, Nolan's Batman trilogy, or most of the DCEU so far, Deadpool 1 and 2 and Shazam are very self-referencial of the superhero genre. They are having fun with the ideas of being a superhero and all the tropes and concepts that go with it, sometimes completely making fun of it. Whereas the characters in the MCU, Nolan's Batman trilogy, etc. all take the idea of being a superhero much more seriously, and treat it at face value within their own world. GOTG or Thor Ragnorok while being very funny, are not making a point of making jokes about being in the world of superheroes (saying things like, “Oh, you're like the bad guy, right?”). While there is nothing wrong with films like DP 1, 2, and Shazam being self-referential because it fits those characters, I've realized that it's not my personal cup of tea. I'm not trying to be critical of those films for doing that. But I also know that the last thing I want is for characters like Cap, Batman, Superman, or Iron Man to break the fourth wall or talk about how exciting it is to be a superhero, or anything like that. Not that I expect that to start happening, but do you think that the responses to the Deadpool films and Shazam tell us that is what the audience wants? I can always count on the MCU for balance, but I worry that WB will take the wrong lessons from the success of the Deadpool films and Shazam, and start assuming that the general audiences want that from superheroes. What do you think about the self-referencial superhero and that affect within the genre?1:13:29 Kerry VanderbergSo I've been back and forth on this idea recently. I am super excited for Endgame. But I am debating on jumping off the hype train afterwards, so to speak. I'll still go see most if not all of the Marvel films. But since the story that we've had since Iron Man will essentially be over, there's a part of me that thinks I won't connect as well with the main characters going forward. I liked Captain Marvel well enough, but it didn't quite hook me like Cap or Iron Man did. I'll certainly give the movies like Shang Chi and the Eternals a chance, and I'll look forward to movies like Black Widow, Black Panther 2 or GOTG 3. But I may not have the bandwidth to really follow the hype and buildup to each MCU movie anymore after Endgame. Then again, announcements at this year's SDCC, or whenever the MCU X-men films are announced may change that. But what are your thoughts on this? I hope you are doing well and have an amazing weekend, along with the rest of the patrons.1:21:18 Giuseppe VicarettiHello Sean, my question for you this time is which Xmen character is your favorite? Mine is Nightcrawler.1:24:14 Alex WardIn honor of Endgame being arguably the most secretive, guarded marketing campaign of all time, do you think Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is taking a similar approach, as they too are ending an epic saga of films? Or has the first trailer already shown too much? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this quick supplemental entry to episode 25, co-host Chris Clow (Movies.com, Comics on Consoles) winds the clocks back to 2014 to bring a very interesting discussion of STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION's "Tapestry" to a listening audience for the very first time! One of Chris' oldest podcasting friends is BRAD LANGE, an insightful commentator on popular culture and a former cohort with Chris on both the BATMAN-ON-FILM and MODERN MYTH MEDIA podcasts. In this never-before-released discussion from the pilot episode of their planned collaboration, Chris and Brad discuss "Tapestry" from two wildly different perspectives. The key question brought up by Brad: is Captain Picard actually revealed by this episode to be egregiously selfish? That, and an update on what you can expect next from Discovery Debrief on the heels of both COMIC-CON INTERNATIONAL and STAR TREK LAS VEGAS, as well as that incredible season two trailer for STAR TREK: DISCOVERY!
