We wrap up by examining the comic vs show differences and how these storylines conclude to set up the future franchise spinoffs, Gen V and the Vought Rising prequel series.Finally, Dewey's final thoughts on why some of the big movie franchises need to convert into series to explore their many ideas we see in film and not rush them, which can ultimately discourage fans & may effect ticket sales.Chapters:0:00 Intro & DMR Apple Podcasts2:46 Audible 30 Day Free Trial5:10 What The Boys Is9:34 DC & Marvel Sup Movies11:51 Characters, Powers + Actors24:30 The Fate of The Boys + Sups33:12 Gen V & Vought Rising34:27 Movie Franchise vs SeriesDMR is proud to be part of the Audible Creator Program.

Sometimes movie studios release low quality franchise films and one excuse for this might be that if they don't release a movie every X or Y years, they will lose the rights.  Adam looks into these reversion rights, colloquially referred to as "Use It or Lose It" clauses, which force studios to make a film or lose the right to make the one they're banking on.  Darren then gives us an overview of Anthropic's Mythos, an AI tool so powerful that anyone with access to it could use it to uncover security vulnerabilities, which has led to them holding off on releasing the product.

Welcome back to another episode of the Working Perspectives Podcast! This week, we're playing a high-stakes guessing game with some of the strangest news stories from around the globe. The rules are simple: Each host brings a wild current event to the table but leaves out the most crucial details. The other two hosts have exactly 4 minutes to interrogate the reader and guess the missing facts! In this episode, things get completely off the rails with three crazy topics: Liam's Story: Do you know international law? Liam tests the guys to see if they can guess the top 5 countries with the harshest punishments for drug dealing. Bern's Story: A massive retail heist! Bern brings a wild story about an adult who stole $10,000 worth of trading cards across 75 different stores. Can the guys guess the thief's age, gender, and location before the buzzer? Matt's Story: Switching gears to pop culture! Matt puts the pressure on by challenging Bern and Liam to name the Top 10 Best Movie Series of All Time. Play along with us and let us know in the comments how many you managed to guess correctly!

Chris and Tim are talking this week about Netflix having big wins and big losses this past week, Hoppers getting great early reviews, and your usual financial updates from the Disney Company.

On this minisode we do one of the toughest to narrow down top fives we have ever done - Top Five Movie Franchises. It turns out there is a bunch of really good ones to choose from! We do our best to come up only five each - but first a quiz! Special guest Jim is back to take us on in a game of skill and cunning devised by Kenny. Who can name the most movies based on Kenny's audio clues? Only one way to find out...

This week on the Toy Power Podcast; we are still sending 'Get Well' Cards to Trent, as he unfortunately misses this ep. But that won't slow us down; as Scot has a fantastic rundown on the Greatest Star Wars Movie - that never was! Yes - the infamous 'Shadows Of The Empire!' Famously worked into 'cannon' between the Original Films of: Empire Strikes Back & Return Of The Jedi. This wasn't just a Story or a Comicbook series - this was a Multimedia Project that also spanned into a Soundtrack, Video Games and of course a self-titled line of Toys! Was, or is this, the biggest Movie that never was?! Then keeping in the same similar theme of Movies; we transform into another round of The Team! With this round focusing on the Autobots that where released in 1986 (The Movie Year). This was a lot of fun! But we would love to hear some future ideas for The Team Comp - as we are starting to run out of ideas!

Czabe connects with PAUL CHARCHIAN to discuss the improbable stardom of a silly (but important) video game from back in the day. The boys nerd out over old video game consoles like the Dreamcast, as well as discuss what it's like to watch a horse have to get put down at the race track. The Minnesota assassin case is as horrific as it is illogical. And would you hedge out of a $13 bet that might pay $270,000?

Recalling the Thrill of Mission: Impossible's 1996 Premiere – A Film Buff's Perspective by AKAPAD In 1996, the cinematic landscape shifted with the electrifying debut of Mission: Impossible. As a wide-eyed film buff, I vividly remember the anticipation swirling around its premiere. Directed by Brian De Palma and starring Tom Cruise as the daring Ethan Hunt, the film blended high-octane action, intricate espionage, and a pulse-pounding score that left audiences gripped. From the iconic Langley heist to the explosive train chase, every frame oozed tension and innovation. For AKAPAD, this wasn't just a movie—it was a cultural moment that redefined the spy thriller genre, sparking a franchise that still captivates. Reliving that premiere feels like stepping back into a time when cinema dared us to accept the impossible.
