353: Rumors leaks and the fandom noise machine


Listen Later

This week, we're pulling back the curtain on one of fandom's favorite pastimes, the endless swirl of leaks, scoops, and "totally confirmed" rumors that flood the internet every single day. Where do they come from? Why do they spread? And when does fun speculation turn into toxic noise that actually hurts the movies and shows we love? We'll break down how studios sometimes use leaks to build hype, how fan theories can snowball into "insider reports," and the ways bad information can derail productions, spoil surprises, or crush expectations. It's part media literacy lesson, part nerd therapy session and a reminder that sometimes, the biggest blockbuster drama doesn't happen on screen. Plus, Peacemaker finale, what's hot and all the regular shenanigans this week on the House of Gozer Podcast.
