The FliteCast

It's time to have a chat/rant about #Supergirl and all the different groups of "fans" that have been chiming in on the movie. Grab the popcorn and buckle up, I'm not pulling any punches.

My spoiler-free review of Supergirl, with a full rant about why the critics are hypocrites and the haters are ridiculous, and why a lot of reactions to this film are Turning Red, Barbie, and The Marvels all over again.

My honest review of the Deluxe Edition of Tom King, Bilquis Evely, and Matheus Lopes' critically acclaimed miniseries that inspired the DCU Supergirl film.

My thoughts on the new trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day and how it's becoming more difficult not to believe this might be the best Spider-Man film to date.

My relatively spoiler-free and heavily biased thoughts on Steven Spielberg's latest alien film, which is really about humans, and why it proves how cynical and hopeless we've become as an audience over time.

My relatively spoiler-free thoughts on Obsession, the hottest horror movie of the year, and why it's an absolute masterclass in supernatural psychological tension building.

My spoiler-free thoughts on the newest He-Man movie and how it's seriously the best Thor movie made to date.

My spoiler-free review of The Mandalorian and Grogu, complete with a full rant about how much I pity Star Wars fans who try to suck the joy out of everything these days. 00:00:00 Introduction 00:06:11 High Level Thoughts 00:11:30 The Cast 00:14:00 Visuals 00:16:44 Writing 00:24:08 Music 00:25:27 Final Thoughts 00:35:04 Outro

My spoiler-free thoughts on the latest Super Mario movie from Illumination, on my way home from the theater. Is it better than the first one, or do I actually agree with the hellsite critics?

My honest, spoiler-free thoughts on Project Hail Mary, and why it might have been a good idea to put REDACTED in the trailers after all.

Is Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Season 1 the best first season of a Star Trek show in history? I break down why that might be the case, share my spoilery thoughts on the show itself, and why it's time for the close-minded Trekkies to seriously stop talking their selfish nonsense about it.

The first VIDEO and audio episode of THE FLITECAST catches up on the Paramount-Warner Bros. deal and reaction to the first trailer for Lanterns from DC Studios!

My full, honest review of the first half of Starfleet Academy’s first season as a 35-year Star Trek fan.
