Culture Vacuum

OHHHHHHHHH boy do we have stuff to talk about this week. Disney sabotaged their Spider-man deal with Sony like they were trying to win a Chinese Trade War, Apple TV+ has a price and rumored release date, 20th Century Fox is likely shut down because Dark Phoenix bombed so hard. It's an all news episode of Culture Vacuum, and Samuel and Calvin are here to help you digest.

Samuel and Calvin jump deep into the stupid with "Fast and Furious Presents: Hobbs and Shaw" but climb out into the lightening with Amazon Prime's "The Boys." I don't know if you know, but those super heroes sure do live in a society.

There's a mix of rambling regarding Comic-con, the Lion King, and cults before Samuel and Calvin get into their conversation around Quentin Tarantino's latest opus "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood" (spoilers they loved it). You should know the drill at this point though.

Shorter episode this week. Samuel sat down with his friend Andrew to discuss the Marvel panel and Comic Con this year and the show and movie announcements they felt were the standouts this year. Lady Thor! WandaVision! And much more.

Samuel and Calvin cover the other likely winner of Best Limited Series at the Emmys this year, HBO's Chernobyl. They discuss the history around the show, the creators...interesting career path, and the way the show highlights the dangers of fanaticism for any ideology. Tune in and be sure to watch Chernobyl if you haven't because it's a good one.

Samuel and Calvin get right down to business to share their thoughts on Spider-Man: Far From Home, what it means for the MCU, how it further highlights the dynamics of the Marvel/Sony relationship, and of course if it was any good.

Samuel and Calvin discuss the terrible year at the box office being had by every studio not named Disney and then review the latest Pixar film, Toy Story 4. Tears were shed, goodbyes were made, and lots of money was fed to the terrifying conglomerate slowly devouring the world. Everything is fine on the latest episode of Culture Vacuum.

This episode deals with more serious subject matter towards the end. In the first half, Samuel and Calvin talk about more details that have come to light for the Warner Media streaming service and touch on some of the updates for the upcoming crop of game streaming services out of E3 like Google Stadia and Microsoft's Project xCloud. 

They then discuss Ava DuVernay's Netflix miniseries "When They See Us" about the Central Park five.

Michael's here to talk about Game of Thrones with Samuel. Come for the large amounts of rambling disappointment, stay for the perfect analogy with which to analyze all further media you consume: SMOOTHIES!
