Flix And A Six

Thanks to Spinchoon co-founder Brian for joining us once again for this week's episode (follow him on Twitter @Big_Broons, and check out what he's been writing for The Spinchoon). We took a look at some of what he's been playing on Apple Arcade, the imminent release of The Mandalorian, the cancellation (at least for now) of the Benioff & Weiss helmed Star Wars trilogy, the cancellation of the Naomi Watts led Game of Thrones spin-off, the series order of the Targaryen focused Game of Thrones spin-off, plus wild tangents abound. We'd ask you politely to listen this week, but there's no need; we put a spell on you, and now you're ours.

Our thanks to returning guest host, and resident peanut gallery leader, Dominick. We look at the casting news for the Amazon Lord of the Rings show and The Batman. We check in with Terminator: Dark Fat and where that series could potentially head. We discuss the moving and shaking at the top of Marvel, and of course, we react to the final Rise of Skywalker trailer. So buckle your seat belt and join us for a road trip up north.

Our thanks to Spinchoon contributor Gary Gurecki for making his debut appearance on the show (follow him @GaryRGurecki). We had a lot of ground to cover after our break, so we get into The Batman casting news, Spooky SZN movie habits, the death (and rebirth) of Fortnite, trailers, what we're watching, and more! Let's put a smile on your face.

Welcome back to the show, Gianna. Our thanks to her for co-hosting once again, and for driving our "What We're Watching" segment. We also tackled the hot, new, Matt Reeves Batman rumor, we eugoogolize Movie Pass (RIP), we look at some "Fargo" Season 4 casting news, we find out what character in The Shining Al is, and more. We'd invite you to this week's episode, but you've always been here.

IT finally ends. We kept our promise to follow up on our episode from 2 years ago, and it’s all been quite the experience. Prior to that, we reconvene (briefly) on the more extended Tenet teaser, react freshly to the trailer for Jojo Rabbit, review (spoiler free) “The Boys” (Amazon Prime), react to the Knives Out reactions, and more. Come on down. We all float down here.

We have ‘cisely zero regrets for what we subjected you to in our “first” Cloud Atlas episode. If you like this show you get that that’s peak us; this week’s episode is peak Flix & a Six. We freakin’ brought it for this one. News! Notes! Nuggets! A damn good beer and the best movie. That’s the true-true.

We love us some Matrix. More importantly, we love us some Keanu Reeves and Hugo Weaving. You’ll hear plenty of that, as well as Mandalorian and Rise of Skywalker trailer discussion, Matrix 4 news (perfect timing), Marvel/Sony discord, and more. Follow us and see how deep the rabbit hole goes.

This movie is so dumb but somehow it works. We focus most of our remaining brain cells on some news about Tenet, Goldeneye on N64, the best sharks of all time, and more. Plus this Matthew Berry story (link here) about fulfilling a dream and getting to be in Avengers: Endgame. Join the family.

Back after a short break, we have the movie that’s been the talk of the town. We also look at some new trailers, fill you in on what we’re watching, talk about Venom 2, and read about the wild world of Nicolas Cage. Here we go.

Back to the well with a Disney nostalgia trip. The results are mixed. Luckily our cartoon rodent overlords gave us myriad other things to discuss at SDCC, as the MCU Phase 4 plan was unveiled. Be prepared.

It’s finally happened. Long rumored, long anticipated, literally a year in the making.CLOUD ATLASThat’s right. We’ll keep the news and nuggets short, with the exception of a substantial (spoiler free-ish) review of Neon Genesis Evangelion from Al. We want to keep the main event the focus, just as we intended when we planned this episode so long ago. Tell your neighbors, your friends, your enemies to tune in.

Back from a holiday, we have something we think you’ll really like. We sure did. But first, old news. The Walking Dead Comic ends, Knives Out debuts its trailer, JA Bayona is involved with Lord of the Rings, and much more. Plus the long awaited (spoiler free!) review of The Leftovers. Follow your Peter Tingle and listen.

Back and better than ever. We do our best (see: worst…. wurst?…. wort, nailed it) work after a break, and this is Exhibit A. Not much news — except for the Netflix darling “I Think You Should Leave” — but a million nuggets, as many tangents, some anecdotes, and What We’re Watching. You’ve got a friend in us.

Thanks to Spinchoon co-founder Brian Rooney for guest hosting with us this week (and check out his written review for this movie on The Spinchoon). He’s been a content machine. We eschew our typical new/notes segment for a brief chat about Dr. Sleep and a very substantial report on what interests us from EA Play and E3. So come on down, stop on by, hop a carpet and fly, to another Arabian night.

Long awaited, we’re finally back in the Wickiverse… right. We have to make up for old news and nuggets, but that’s fine, since it’s Star Wars, New New Batman, Dark Fat, Last Blood Part One, the newest nightmare from the unholy alliance of Hideo Kojima and Guillermo Del Toro, and more! No time for dilly dally, Mr Wick.

Thrones. Pokemon. Shenanigans. No news or nuggets this week, as our concluding thoughts on Game of Thrones takes precedent. Pika Pika!

It’s a good thing we recorded this early to accommodate our busy schedules…. only to promptly screw up and release it late anyway. Moving on! We give out compulsory Star Wars nuggets to build the anticipation, tip our caps to the end of Veep, give some penultimate thrones taeks (that got out of date quick), and talk some Batman (non-Patinson division). Never give up! Never surrender!

It is so very frustrating to me that we did ’89 Batman on Episode 88. It’s OK because we had so damn much fun with it. Just as we enjoyed our time discussing trailers for IT Chapter 2 and Spiderman: Far From Home, brewery mergers, the next decade of blockbuster movie releases, and more. So if you want to get nuts, let’s get nuts!

Back on track with a throwback; an underrated movie from a former star of the turn of the century; signified by one appropriate use of a semi-colon, and one that is completely unnecessary. First, we have to tackle a bevy of trailers, some spoiler free Game of Thrones talk, the brilliance of Billions, and more. Make a wish and join us in this fantasy.

No preamble necessary. Let’s get into it. Thanks to Brian Rooney for finally joining the show.
