Recently, production studios strutted their stuff before the advertising world at the annual upfronts. We talk about some of the projects that were announced at the various events. Plus, we chat about geeky moms, how "inspired by actual events" gets Jonathan's dander up, and whether something is really an adaptation if it appears to conflict with authorial intent. And more!

This episode, Ariel and Jonathan talk about May the 4th, disappointing Irish folk horror movies, Ariel's experience playing at the Georgia Renaissance Festival, and much more! Apologies for the late episode -- I (Jonathan) have been struggling with executive dysfunction recently and had a major mental block that I struggled with. That's also why earlier episodes had issues. That's all on me.

Ariel and Jonathan talk about some of their favorite geeky April Fools jokes, Ariel attempts to escape Spider Manor (it's ok, it's just a name -- it's really just Spider House), and Jonathan slips in an audio cue from an old horror movie (but misnames it because the actual film title is "Mothman Prophecies," not "Mothman"). And more!

Ariel and Jonathan talk about a movie using AI to recreate a recently-departed actor to make the movie he was going to make before their health declined and how that makes them feel. They also chat about Spring geekery, the stuff they've been watching, and why the title drop video for the next Sonic the Hedgehog movie irritates them.

We recorded this episode on Friday the 13th, but Jonathan wasn't able to edit and publish until Saturday the 14th. Is it due to a curse???? Or just Jonathan's poor time management skills? Probably the second one. Anyway, we talk about stuff like how HBO Max and Paramount+ may end up being combined if the acquisition deal goes through, how being Dorothy Gale changed the lives of various actors, and spiders the size of Andrew Garfield. Plus more!

First, apologies for the late publication! It was a hectic weekend of travel for your humble editor and publisher. More importantly, Ariel and Jonathan talk about the return of low brow Hollywood comedies, the upcoming Lanterns TV series, and a pretty gross puppet.
