Mike and Jack discuss the flop that was 2016’s Ghostbusters reboot and what it means for Sony. From a studio trying to use gender politics to sell a mediocre comedy to a marketing campaign that insulted the film’s primary audience. Is the failure validation for Geek culture after months being under siege from Paul Feig and Sony’s marketing department? Also rejoice, as Ivan Reitman returns to take back control of the franchise he never should have been booted from. We look at Transformers: Combiner Wars from Machinima and how it’s failing to find much of an audience among Transformers fans. Stilted dialogue, sub-par animation, and a plot that leaves even those in the know confused all contribute. Finally we continue with our three part look at Warcraft, as Mike and Jack discuss the pre-launch event for the Legion expansion. Varian Wrynn dies protecting the Alliance while the Horde runs like the cowards we all knew they were! How do the demonic invasions compare with the Iron Horde invasion from the pre-Dreaenor event? And how does the new Demon Hunter class play? mp3
