Wave goodbye to industry greats and brace yourselves for an entertainment odyssey with me, Thomas Townley.
Rob Liefeld announces his retirement from Deadpool. The 208th episode pays homage to the awe-inspiring William O'Connell and Carl Withers, leaving a legacy that forever alters the tapestry of film and television. As we bid farewell, we also celebrate the talented recipients of the Saturn Awards and reflect on the creative genius of Deadpool's creator, Rob Liefeld, as he takes a bow from his illustrious career. From the intense bidding frenzy for a Christopher Reeve documentary to the Super Bowl teaser that put Wolverine in the 'Deadpool 3' spotlight, we've got the lowdown on the shifts making waves across the industry, including the kick-off of 'Star Trek Section 31' filming.

The cinematic landscape is evolving, with Disney's Bob Iger illuminating the path to "Frozen 3," a fresh "Toy Story" installment, and a "Star Wars" movie with "The Mandalorian" DNA. As we navigate through these seismic shifts, we also examine the tightening grip on password sharing by streaming giants like Hulu, making the streaming world a little more exclusive. Visionaries like Denis Villeneuve are capping their trilogies on a high note, and we'll explore his strategic decision to conclude his "Dune" involvement after three films. We'll also unpack the unique universes set to expand, from Universal's live-action "How to Train Your Dragon" to Warner Bros' "Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice 2024 AD," where familiar faces and fresh talent will collide. Join me as we traverse these narratives, paying tribute to the trailblazers who've shaped our viewing experiences and peering into the future at the stories waiting to be told.Support the showThanks for listening!
