SciFi4Me: Live From the Bunker

Today is the day for the shareholders' meeting at The Walt Disney Company, and it comes after weeks of legal and public relations fiascos -- the lawsuit from Caryn McCarthy, the public meltdown of Victoria Alonso, the dismissal of Ike Perlmutter, the Reedy Creek mess, and the arrest of Jonathan Majors.  And we join the Shareholders call in progress. Maybe Nelson Peltz is a minor worry at this...

Lots of things to catch up on -- stories we've been following, as well as new stories breaking over the weekend. So strap in! More "sensitivity" censorship -- this time targeting Agatha Christie!

And Jonathan Majors was arrested over the weekend,...

"It's the economy, stupid!" -- at least, that's what we hear from people who willing to acknowledge that there's actually a problem with our economy. And the numbers make it very difficult for anyone to ignore. Massive layoffs continue in the tech sector, and there's continued rumblings that the movie industry is about to experience another set of strikes across multiple labor unions. 2023, right?...

Och. What a week. And this week doesn't look like it's going to be any better. But we're going to make the best of it, yes? Let's go.

We've heard of Indiegogo and Kickstarter. Some of you may have even heard of Crowdfundr -- especially if you've been paying attention to the indie comics scene in the past week. Now there's a new player on the field: Luke Stone has launched FundMyComic.com, and we're discussing what plans he has in store for independent creators. https://www.fundmycomic.com/ https://twitter.com/LukeStoneStudio Fee...

The joke around the studio is that Mr. Boss has a Bingo card, and for 2023, that Bingo card is fill-in-the-blank. Now we get a few more items to settle on, from Benjamin Sisko being non-binary to James Bond being "updated" to antifa threatening a hit on a pub that screened HOGWARTS LEGACY game footage and points in between.  Was April O'Neil Black? - https://tmntentity.blogspot.com/2018/02/wa...

Nancy Stohlman has written a novella about the Rapture. Except, is it? Is it about that particular moment in the End Times, or is it more about the people who live in the Now Times?

Mere weeks ago, we got the news that Susan Wojcicki was stepping down as CEO of YouTube. Her successor: Neal Mohan. Who is he? And what plans does he have for the platform moving into 2023 and beyond? Is it going to be a creators paradise? Or will it be more of the same frustrating off-balance experience many of us have complained about? New boss, same as the old boss? Feedback: livefromthebunker@...

Author (and past contributor) Preston Fassel sits down with us to talk about his new book, BEASTS OF 42ND STREET -- a tale of love, film, demons.  When a movie theater projectionist in New York comes into possession of a film made by the devil himself, he'll do anything he can to keep hold of it and protect the woman who stars in the film. https://twitter.com/PrestonFassel https://www.cemeter...

Comscore's Paul Dergarabedian joins us for a discussion about the success of COCAINE BEAR and the drastic decline week-to-week for the latest Marvel offering, ANT-MAN AND THE WASP: QUANTUMANIA, which still has a pretty good Rotten Tomatoes score even though it's not performing well at the box office. Has the bear mauled the MCU? What lesson will Hollywood learn from this? https://twitter.com/PDerg...
