RIP podcasters? Amazon wants to replace human podcasters with AI, and they're working with mainstream news outlets including The New York Times, Reuters, and the Associated Press. The AI will literally just spin up news podcasts ala carte. So does that mean Joe Rogan and all these Hollywood celebrities rushing into the podcast space are out of luck? Probably not. But smaller podcasters probably wi...

James Gunn Supergirl promotion has begun, and they're already doing damage control and blaming "toxic fandom" going after Millie Alcock. This isn't going to help get butts in seats. See also Star Wars, Star Trek and pretty much any other franchise that tried the fan blaming tactic. Geeky goes off on this one.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny has already been 'decanonized' by fans on X. And so many people had already forgotten about this Disney dud that saying you didn't consider it canon was Trending. Not a good day for Lucasfilm. This is after Mando and Grogu got pummeled on Rotten Tomatoes. Let's talk about when fandom has to decide for itself when something is or isn't canon. Watch the podcast...

It's a me! Methio! This is straight-up wild -- a New Haven drug dealer named Ronnell Rogers just got slammed with six years in federal prison because cops pulled him over and found his stash packed with fentanyl, heroin, cocaine, and meth pills molded exactly like Super Mario's head, mustache, eyebrows and all. Yeah the same Nintendo icon kids grew up collecting is now being shaped into candy-look...

Google is changing its search engine to focus on AI recommendations and NOT links to websites, according to it's Google I/O presentation. And it's a wrap. That's it for the free and open internet.

GrammaCrackers, an 81-year-old grandma who livestreams Minecraft to raise money for her grandson's cancer treatment, got swatted. And whoever did it is one of the worst human beings on the planet.

Master of the Universe had its premiere this week. But some in the access media are focusing on its theme of "fragile masculinity." This is not what fans of He-Man want to hear. Whether or not it's actually true, tis narrative could actually HURT the movie's chances. See also Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.

The Mandalorian and Grogu is just the Disney Plus series on a movie screen, according to most reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. Many are questioning why this was released theatrically. Some are questioning the viability of Disney Star Wars full stop. Very few reviews are absolutely glowing. This didn't go the way Disney was hoping it would...

Damon Lindelof thinks Lucasfilm is lost. He talks about why they fired him off a Star Wars movie, and talks about there seems to be no direction in the Disney division. Apparently he's not afraid to speak out after Kathleen Kennedy got gone. And this probably isn't the best thing for Lucasfilm PR ahead of Mandalorian and Grogu...

Yeah the founder hopped in and piloted...

Begun, the Disney damage control has. Yes, the media is already making excuses for The Mandalorian and Grogu's expected low opening weekend, claiming that Attack of the Clone "only" made $80 million... in 2002. That's about $150 million in today's money. Is low key Disney panicking over another Star Wars failure? Watch the podcast episodes on YouTube and all major podcast hosts including...

Marvel Comics' head honcho Dan Buckley is OUT, being replaced with a guy from Marvel TV and a guy from Disney Music. That doesn't seem to bode well for Marvel's future as a comic book publisher. And while they're not explicitly saying he was fired... he was totally bought out. Read between the lines. Even the trades are pointing out that Marvel Comics are getting their butts kicked by DC these day...

Pay the Concord tax, chud! Yes, Sony is raising its PlayStation Plus membership prices and gamers are NOT happy. How else are you going to subsidize failures like Concord and Marathon? Then we talk about gaming journos not liking the idea of PS5 player counts. They're afraid games that are clearly failing will be labeled failures by gamers. Because... of course they will?

Kristen Stewart says she's going to release her next movie on YouTube, and many others in Hollywood are paying close attention to this space.

Does this explain a lot of the algorithmic weirdness lately? Watch the podcast epi...

Absolute Batman write Scott Snyder said the quiet part out loud. It's hard to get a comic storyline to last past six or eight issues because readers drop the book after the first couple. He also says that there's some inflation going on with comic book numbers, but stops short of saying the industry is NOT in a good place right now. One of the reasons for the short attention span? He says streamin...

Because this worked oh so well for Starfleet Academy... Watch the podcast episodes on YouTube and all major podca...

They want nerds to be mad about The Odyssey, Masters of the Universe, Star Wars, Star Trek and whatever else it is.

The Mandalorian and Grogu premiered and many critics are... underwhelmed. They said it's just a longer episode of the Disney Plus show, and some said it's the weakest theatrical Star Wars release ever. Ouch! And now it's tracking lower than Solo: A Star Wars Story. So is this thing going to make bank for Disney or what? Oh, and Pedro Pascal made out with Stephen Colbert to promote the movie on lat...
