Sean talks about the following discussion prompt from David:

Before I ask this series of questions, I would like to preface it by saying that I understand we are all in various stages of our grieving process for Chadwick Boseman, and so I want to be respectful of that. I hope you, Sean, and all our fellow Patrons are doing ok, and I just want to say how appreciative I am to have this community during this time to turn to for support. As such, I hope this question doesn't come off as insincere in any way, but if it does, I apologize. This is just something that came to mind recently while trying to sort through my thoughts and feelings around Boseman's passing. While we don’t yet know the fate or status of Black Panther 2, it occurred to me that before that movie is even supposed to come out, we are going to get Thor: Love and Thunder first. If speculation around that story holds up like we think it might, it’s a real possibility that cancer could play a major role, as it did in the comics. When the pandemic first started, we discussed how future movies might shy away from using viral threats as a plot point because it could end up feeling a little “too real”. Do you think the same could apply here with cancer given the tragic, real-life circumstances surrounding Boseman’s death? Should Thor handle the subject any differently now than how it might have been planning to, and how would you handle the subject of cancer in Marvel movies going forward? If cancer does end up playing a role in Thor, do you think it would be appropriate for that movie to honor Chadwick before the Black Panther franchise would have a chance to do so?

Thank you, Sean, for answering what I know is a tough question and a difficult subject to talk about, but you always handle the difficult subjects with the poise and respect they deserve, and I have no doubt this will be any different.

What was the last movie you saw in theaters pre-Covid? Do you think you’ll have a greater appreciation of the theater experience once we back into a “post-Covid” world?

How do you think Warner and Universal’s behavior regarding curating their library on HBO Max and Peacock have differed from Disney + so far? It seems Disney is committed to curating a complete library of their content and have ceased licensing content out to anyone. By contrast, Warner still has several Batman films and shows elsewhere, and let Harry Potter go to Peacock already. It doesn’t seem like Universal has worked to establish exclusivity or permanence for their films either, with Jurassic Park still on Netflix. Will they continue to push for both in house streaming revenue and licensing streaming revenue? Are they trying to keep both digital and physical purchases alive?
