SciFi4Me: Live From the Bunker

OK. This is going to be short. Not diving into the drama, but using IMDb as a way of proving your point... well, it just isn't the best thing to do. Because IMDb is not what it used to be.

Box office bombs, writers on strike, productions being shut down, some of them permanently... How are things in Hollywood?

Let's take this question to all of you out there: should we be using this new video platform called Kick? It's brand new, which means a lot of early adopters and a frenzy of activity because it's brand new, but is this ultimately something that we can find useful? Or is it just another platform and we shouldn't waste our time yet? Feedback: livefromthebunker@scifi4me.com  FAIR USE NOTICE Our...

Over on Twitter, where things really aren't real but people like to pretend, someone posted a thought thread on how many STAR WARS fans secretly loved THE LAST JEDI, only they got convinced they hate it by the online 'muh fandom' crowd. No. THE LAST JEDI is still garbage. Hot garbage. Feedback: livefromthebunker@scifi4me.com  FAIR USE NOTICE Our videos may contain copyrighted material; the us...

With this weekend's bombs at the box office -- both THE FLASH and ELEMENTAL severely underperformed -- and with projects starting to get cancelled in the wake of the continuing writers strike, and with another bomb possibly with Indiana Jones, where do we go from here?

Last night in Los Angeles, stars gathered for the premiere of INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY. But you almost wouldn't know it from the lack of coverage in the trades. Yes, there were a few articles, but nothing like the big splash you would expect for a top-tier blockbuster franchise.  INDIANA JONES Featurette - https://youtu.be/AYZmL9D3BEI  Feedback: livefromthebunker@scifi4me.co...

As the writers strike continues, the fallout continues as predicted. On Tuesday, news broke that the Walt Disney Company is pushing back the dates on pretty much everything in the pipeline for both film and television. What does this mean for 2024? And what's this we hear about ... Disney hired WHO? Feedback: livefromthebunker@scifi4me.com FAIR USE NOTICE Our videos may contain copyrighted materia...

Box office numbers continue to roll in, and they tell very different stories for two films with lead characters of color. The usual acrimony has been slung, but does it actually come down to racism? Could the failure of THE LITTLE MERMAID be attributed to other factors? Comscore's Paul Dergarabedian is back with analysis. Plus, we'll take a look at the projections for INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF...

We're back! After taking a week off -- did you miss us? -- we're back in the studio to cover a few different items in the news and let you know what's ahead of us in the coming weeks.

CBR, formerly known as Comic Book Resources, is the latest pop culture media site to get restructured. It was announced this week that the company will be going through a major overhaul. Many of the executives are gone, and the corporate entity what owns it has a new direction to go. Will "CBR" still stand for "Comic Book Resources" when the dust settles?

Back in the day, there was this little show called LOST, something that came out of nowhere with a tale of plane crash survivors stranded on a mysterious island -- and it was an instant hit. Other shows tried to replicate the formula, and it put quite a few people on the map. Everyone wanted to be on the show. Everyone wanted to write for the show. Not everyone was happy about it once they got the...

Oh, what a tangled web catches us all in the chaos and confusion. Disney's live-action remake of THE LITTLE MERMAID is not floating as well as predicted, especially internationally. Could there be a particular reason for that? And what's this new set of Magic: The Gathering cards based on Tolkien's THE LORD OF THE RINGS? They *say* this guy is Aragorn, but he looks nothing like Aragorn as he's des...

It's been a while since we've done one of these, and there's PLENTY to talk about!

Remember the mini-series "V" back in the 80s? Writer/producer Kenneth Johnson still thinks it's relevant now, which is why he's trying to develop a big screen remake of the show. In a new Vanity Fair article, Johnson talks about the show's anti-fascist message, and it's interesting just which group he wants to say are the bad guys now...  https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2023/05/the-v-fil...

Walt Disney Pictures is getting called out -- again -- over a change in their marketing scheme for a movie. This time, it's THE LITTLE MERMAID. And again, it's a change in the movie poster for the China market. Racist? Probably. But there are layers to this that need a little further examination.

This week, the new Indiana Jones film is making its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, and you can bet that all sorts of rumors and hearsay will swirl about as we get closer to the movie's release date next month.

The Walt Disney Company recently had its quarterly earnings report go public, and while there are some bright spots with regard to Parks, the streaming side of things are ... not so great. And that's triggered some consternation from shareholders -- enough to trigger another lawsuit against Disney.  Plus: the battle with Ron DeSantis continues. And how's that going to go?

Paramount Pictures has released the first official clip from the upcoming INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY -- a short piece of what was screened a few weeks ago at STAR WARS Celebration. It's a chase, not much substance to it, and it's very much out of context, but it gives us a brief glimpse of the relationship Indy has with Helena.  Question is: is it any good?
