Fan favorite writer Timothy Zahn is a Star Wars legend! As the author of the original Thrawn trilogy in the early 90s (and numerous subsequent Star Wars novels), Zahn helped keep the Star Wars flame lit during the franchise's post-Return of the Jedi slumber. And at GalaxyCon San Jose, I had the honor of moderating the Spotlight on Timothy Zahn panel, where he shared stories about the creation of Grand Admiral Thrawn and other characters, how he first got the chance to write for Star Wars, what he thinks of his Extended Universe novels becoming Star Wars Legends, and much, much more! And now you get a chance to hear the conversation for yourself! Enjoy!

Flying in to save the day and deliver to us a brand new DC cinematic universe, it's 'Superman', the much-anticipated James Gunn reboot of the Man of Steel! And the film had a lot of lifting to do, with high expectations of the new cast, a brighter beginning to an upcoming and interconnected film and TV slate, and the hit and miss inconsistency of the Snyderverse fresh in our hearts. So does the film deliver? Is DC's marquee hero redeemed on the big screen? Ian Kerner and I connected to discuss the film, its comic book origins, and what to expect next from the new DCEU!

Marvel's latest Disney+ series 'Ironheart' zoomed onto TV screens without much fanfare. But did that reflect a low level of confidence in the 6-episode series or an overcrowded media landscape? After spinning off from 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' and Marvel's Iron Man books, does the character have what it takes to stand on her own? Ian Kerner joins me to discuss all six episodes (so SPOILERS!), what they introduce to the MCU, where we'll see Riri Williams and her supporting cast again, and more! Also, we pay tribute to the late great Marvel EIC Jim Shooter.
