The shortest "What We've Been Watching" of all time as we all watched the same movie so we could talk about it -- Mank. Somehow we talked about new Spider-Man news without making it the main topic OR making it a 3-hour discussion! Alfred Molina joins Jamie Foxx as the second non-MCU-Spidey villain to be in Spider-Man 3, as he's been added to the cast to reprise his role as Doc Ock. We're all mad about it. Finally, WB dropped a BOMB on Hollywood, announcing that they would release their ENTIRE 2021 slate on HBO Max on the same day as their theatrical release. It's a huge shakeup of the way films have always been released and we break down whether it's a temporary strategy for Covid-times or the way of the future.

We accidentally took a month off and have SO MUCH NEWS to catch up on. There wasn't a frontrunner for "main topic" so we just spend the last bit of the podcast talking shit (as usual) on The SnyderCut following the news that his $70 million reshoots are only going to result in 4 minutes of new footage for the release...

Jamie Foxx has been confirmed to be in Spider-Man 3 as Electro and Benedict Cumberbatch's Dr. Strange will also be in the movie... does this mean that we'll be getting the multi-verse in Spider-Man 3 and will the other Spider-Men be in it!? It's very surprising news, and to some... it's worrisome.

We lost the King of Wakanda recently and it came as a shock to EVERYONE. We honor Chadwick Boseman and say our goodbyes. In some less depressing news, Jonathan Majors has been cast as Kang the Conquerer for Ant-Man 3! Is this the new MCU Saga villain? Or will he be more of an Ultron mini-boss situation? We break down all the implications and MORE!

This week is a pretty heavy news-cast! Nia DaCosta (Candyman, Little Woods) has been tapped to direct Captain Marvel 2; she'll be the first African-American woman to direct a major Marvel film. Quentin Tarantino's mythical Star Trek film is finally no-more, he's confirmed that he's dropping out. Disney has mangled the 20th Century Fox name, removing the "Fox" title entirely and just calling it "20th television." Shawn Ashmore has been added to season 2 of The Boys, The Fresh Prince is getting a gritty dramatic reboot, and Olivia Munn is reportedly returning to her headlining role of G4TV. The main topic this week, just because it's Spider-Man, is that the third film might be called "Homesick." Is he on the run? In hiding? Does he have Covid!? We break down all the implications!

There are a few major news pieces such as another (unwanted) update on The Snyder Cut, the titillating finale of the Universal & AMC war, and finally a firm decision on what's happening with Christopher Nolan's Tenet. After the news roundup, we dive into SDCC @ Home - discussing panels we all saw and whether or not the virtual con was able to fill the shoes of its real-life counterpart.

Pop! Pop! first and foremost wants to voice their support for Black Lives Matter! If you don't, you should probably stop listening to us. In this episode we talk about the new "Bill and Ted 3" trailer, the trailer for Star Wars' new videogame "Squadrons," and how "Evil Dead" is going on a roadshow! Then Joel rages over toxic fanboys getting what they want from HBO, who's putting 20 million dollars into "The Snyder Cut" ... which supposedly already existed, but apparently not. To round things out, the crew discusses whether or not Hollywood is ready to open again smack dab in the middle of a pandemic. From AMC theaters to productions returning to filming, we cover it all!
