Special guest Michael Andrew returns to help us pay our respects to the late Chadwick Boseman and discuss the first new comic book movie to get a release in theatres since March! The movie whose release date changed five times is now one of the first movies to get a theatrical release after the initial shutdown caused by COVID-19.

How does the X-Men spinoff movie (which was put into production 5 years ago) adapt this lesser-known comic book team into a young adult themed horror movie?

What was the virtual Comic-Con experience like? What does this mean for online fan conventions going forward? A new Batman animated movie will have a branching storyline. Is this a good idea? Watchmen & Netflix lead the way with the most Emmy nominations.  What does this say about the future of television?

Umbrella Academy's second season is now available for streaming.  Is it any good? And Christopher Nolan's new movie "Tenet" is competing with "Bill & Ted Face The Music" to see who will have the best pandemic release strategy. Who will end up making the most money?
