Hollywood Already Did It

Loki's second episode deals with crime, meeting alternate versions of yourself so naturally it was time for Blake, Jamie and Terrence to visit Timecop!  The 1994 movie that brought us the TVA before the MCU did!  The movie parallels Loki with its rules, its genre bending and how it challenges the characters to confront themselves in different ways.

This week Blake and Terrence check out the sequel to the 2017 buddy cop movie The Hitman's Bodyguard: The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard.  Does the movie evolve it's series, challenge its characters or bring anything new to the buddy cop genre?  And if not, what could it have done differently?

Wandavision Episode Seven: Breaking the Fourth Wall brings us into the 2010's a decade where most of comedy was cutaways to to the talking heads, awkward zooms, tough story lines and a decline in the family sitcom as we turned to streaming.  Modern Family broke that trend and showed us a more inclusive, more, well modern family on the screen.

We're back to the regular sitcom shenanigans of Wanda and Vision!  Though they are getting more serious as Vision and others start to feel that something is off in their perfect world.  In the history of the real world, sitcoms and TV got more serious in the 1980s as cable TV brought more competition, violence, and an edge to family sitcoms that the vaudeville era never had.

Episode Four of Wandavision took a break from its sitcom format to give us some needed exposition, world building, and one of the coolest cold opens in recent memory.  As a result we take the time to discuss the history of cold opens in TV, why they are important and some of our favorites.  We also touch on the importance of market research in television and why having an understanding o...

Another entry in the DC animated universe, and the first in the new post Justice League Dark timeline. Superman: Man of Tomorrow launches with a great story that nails down who Superman is, and what he stands for, and introduced several great villains that show how to challenge the Man of Steel without sacrificing his character.

Originally developed for the CW Seed, and now reedited into an animated feature film. Deathstroke: Knights and Dragons is DC's next animated movie, following Slade Wilson in his quest to save his son from the Jackal. All the R-rated violence and blood cannot compensate for bad dialogue and a bland story. This was recorded during COVID19 while practicing social distancing, so apologies for any soun...
